Tsakuri ( Armenian Ծակուռի, Russian Цакури , also Tsakeyto , Tsakouri and Tsakurri ) is a municipality in the unrecognized republic of Arzach , which lies in the internationally recognized area of Azerbaijan . From the Azerbaijani point of view, the place called Zakirli is in the Xocavənd district . Artsakh has administered the place since 1991 as part of Hadrut Province .
Geography, economy and population
The place is located in the southeast of the republic, 13 km from the provincial capital Hadrut and 57 km from the capital Stepanakert . Hikers reach Tsakuri in the Togh section of the marked Janapartrail in Arzach. The village is surrounded by forest in a gently sloping valley and has a total area of 307.4 hectares, of which 241.68 hectares are of agricultural importance and 32.9 hectares are forest. It has a particularly mild microclimate thanks to the many apple, pear, mulberry and walnut trees. In the wider area of the village there are deposits of Iceland spar.
Around 100 people live in around 28 households in the municipality. The population is mainly engaged in agriculture, livestock and arable farming. There is a village administration, a cultural center, a first aid station. The water supply takes place in a gravity pipeline system, which is fed from the two springs Akn and Nerses. The community is supplied with electricity, television and radio signals, and mobile communications and the Internet are available.
Architectural monuments
The most important historical and religious monument of the community is the former monastery complex Tsaghkavank, of which only the Church of the Holy Mother of God (Surb Astvatsatsin) has survived. According to the oldest cross stone, this is dated to 1198 and is therefore 18 years older than the Arzach monastery Gandsassar . It has a spectacular portal from 1682, which is an outstanding example of the religious Armenian art and architecture of the Middle Ages in Artsakh. Other historical monuments of Tsakuri are the cemetery (17th – 19th centuries), the spring (19th century), as well as a khachkar (cross stone, 17th century) and the remains of the Ptkatagh monastery just outside Tsakuri (1670). In total, five historical monuments are registered in Tsakuri.
An international group of activists initiated the reconstruction of the Holy Mother of God Church in Tsakuri and began preparatory work and fundraising for it in the 2010s. In July 2013, the Armenian Apostolic Church through the Primate of the Diocese of Artsakh, Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan, blessed this project for the reconstruction of the historical and religious monument Surb Astvatsatsin. It has been recognized as a non-profit project by the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs and Resettlement of the Artsakh Republic. The construction work started in May 2019. The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Youth Affairs supervised the construction work for the first phase of the project (external works) in close cooperation with the technical supervisory authority of the Artsakh Republic. The second phase of the interior design project is partially financed by an international crowdfunding campaign.
