Information

Two small mountain rivers flowed from Dastakerd village. Hacha Gaya and Tak­bar­mag rivers. These rivers flowed into Bazarchay near the city of Sisian. There was a 6-meter-long, 1.5-meter-wide, na­tural bridge-passage made of a whole raft of stones over the Takbarmag River, cal­led Dash (stone) Bridge. It was the only bridge in the region that was made en­tirely of stone.

Dash bridge built by the Azer­baijanis on the Takbarmag Ri­ver is presen­ted by the Ar­me­nians as an Ar­menian mo­nument.
