Back in the 1990s we were returning to Damascus from the TalSalhap Sugar plant. We had made a proposal for a steam boiler for the sugar factory, and we were returning. Our guide, our representative from Syria, wanted to show an ancient Armenian church in the valley. We toured the church, inside it was a thousand years of magnificent woodcarvings all around.

The Discovery of the Medieval Armenian Monastery of Drazark in Kibrislar, Cilicia2020 •
In 2015, in the course of extensive Internet searches, I discovered photographs posted online that showed remnants of large crosses on the façade of a building identified as a church converted to mosque, in the hamlet of Kıbrıslar, in Adana Province. Site visits in May-June 2017 led to the conclusion that this 2-story construction, about 38 km N of Sis/Kozan, is the long-lost Armenian medieval monastic compound of Drazark, resting place of Armenian kings, queens, princes, catholicoi and other high clergy, who were buried there from 1129 to 1374 and possibly beyond. The church arguably has the most extensive sculptural remains preserved of any Armenian medieval complex in Cilicia.

Antigüedad y Cristianismo
Christian Monasteries and Umayyad Residences in Late Antique SyriaLos escritores árabes mencionan a menudo monasterios cristianos, aludiendo a su gloria pasada o describiéndolos como lugares que los musulmanes todavía visitan. En la investigación actual hay una tendencia a considerar esto como "el cliché del monasterio". En un esfuerzo por reconsiderar el papel de los monasterios tanto en la Siria preislámica como musulmana, el presente artículo examina tanto las pruebas materiales como las literarias de los lugares que fueron ocupados tanto por monasterios como por residencias omeyas más tardías (qusu$r) —Qasr al- ・ayr al-Gharbı$, Qasr Burqu‘, al-Faddayn, Qasr al-・alla$ba$t and al-Rusa$fa— subrayando tanto los niveles sociales y políticos en los que operaron tanto los monasterios como los qusu$r.
