evidence: Answer 8. The territories of Nakhichevan are one of the Armenian cultural cradles. The Goght‘an Province is not only famous as a motherland of Armenian songs and music but also a divine place, where Mesrop Mashtots‘ came up with the idea to create the Armenian national alphabet, scripts, schools, and literature. The place, where the people handed down the literature by word of mouth accompanied with the music of bambirs (Armenian national musical instrument) over centuries, the same songs of troubadours in the same place became the reason to create Armenian letters and write literature in the Armenian script. Mashtots‘ founded here the first scriptoria, pursuing a deeper Armenization policy.[41]Armenian architectural buildings, strongholds, bridges, caravansary, churches, chapels, khach‘k‘ars, and other monuments in the territory of Nakhichevan are a museum in the open sky. St. Thomas Monastery, St. Christopher Church, and the Church of the Holy Mother of God have been known since the 4th century.
