AAAS's EurekAlert science magazine publishes article proving maternal
lineage continuation of Armenians



YEREVAN, JUNE 30, ARMENPRESS. EurekAlert – the science magazine
operated by American Association for the Advancement of Science,
published an article proving the maternal lineage continuation of
Armenians.

Pavel Avetisyan, director of the Archaeology and Ethnography Institute
of the National Academy of Sciences told a press conference that
anthropogenic materials discovered from monuments of the modern
territories of Armenia and Artsakh were used for the studies.

“It [studies] showed that the people living here since the 7th
millennia BC are within a lineal continuation. These are valuable data
for Armenian history and genealogy issues”, he said.

Avetisyan said soon similar research will be carried out regarding the
paternal lineage.
