- The Khrber (Armenian: Խռբեր; Transliteration: xṙbēr; also Karmrashen) ruins are the remains of an ancient town situated in the mountains 8 kilometers south-east from the ruins of the fortified Urartian city of Teyseba, also known as Odzaberd and Ishkanaberd. Geographically it is located at the south-east corner of Lake Sevan, which can be seen in the distance at a highpoint amongst the ruins. The name is derived from the local dialect of the villages near south-east Lake Sevan and roughly translates to “ruins”. Foundations of large rectangular stone structures, portions of thick fortified walls, and a large cemetery with ancient tombs, headstones, and khachkars can still be seen. The majority of the oldest graves are located at the base of a hill just south of the ruins of Khrber. Within the ruins, there is a memorial of seven khachkars named Yot Verk Matur meaning "Seven Wounds Chapel". It is from approximately the 14th century and is dedicated to seven lords of seven villages that died during this time. Another more ancient cemetery lies beyond the large foothill just south of Khrber. (en)
