Epilogue

According to Macler, Armenian artists and craftsmen had reached a level no lesser than their colleagues in other countries. Armenian carpets from the 15th to the 18th centuries in regard to their style, size and pattern were considered masterpieces and now are of great value. Despite eastern influence on Armenian jewellery, it retained its pattern and the internal relations between size, figure and so on. Gobinenans statement regarding the Persian art also applies to that of the Armenians, that the complexity of detail does not eclipse the simplicity and harmony of each piece. 97
Armenian cross-stones, or Khatch-kar, were and continue to be sculpted from blocks of stone with great delicate accuracy. Some of them are so delicate that they appear to be nets cut from stone.
Armenian architects and construction workers continued to exhibit their creativity, but unfortunately during this period for the benefit of foreigners and not their homeland.
In conclusion, although Armenian culture and civilization did not greatly expand during these centuries of Turanian rule, their development continued despite the adverse prevailing circumstances.
