1261 khatchkar in Qrataki Saint Minas church

This khachkar (carved cross-stone) carries the date 1261. It marks the site as a monument from the 13th century, one of the carved stone crosses that dot churchyards across Syunik.

It stands at Saint Minas church in Qrataki, a locality within Tatev. No other details about its condition or setting are recorded here — the stone itself, and its date, are what draw attention.

The khachkar is in Syunik region, at the town of Tatev, roughly 177 km east-southeast of Yerevan in a straight line.
