Ararat Igdir Influenced Every Direction
*“It is now becoming increasing clearer that the origin of the Early Bronze culture in eastern Anatolia is to be sought in the Armenian highlands... Speculation about the importance of this area in the Early Bronze Age arose after the publication by Kuftin in 1943 of the material from the area of Igdir which he connected with similar material from Kiketi, Armavir Blur, Kyul Tepe (Nakhichevan), Elar, Shresh Blur, Shengavit, and Trialeti… The Transcaucasian Early Bronze culture…succeeded both directly and indirectly in having a wide influence in every direction open to it.”
