Armenian Treasures in Asia Minor

I came across today this information in one of my linkedin friend's page:

"IԱՀԱ ԹՈՒՐՔԻԱՈՒՄ ՀԱՆԵԼ ԷՆ ՆԱԵՎ ՀԱՅՈՑ ՏԻԳՐԱՆ ԱՐՔԱՅԻ ԱՐՔՈՒՆԱԿԱՆ ԳԱՆՁԵՐԸ։ՆՐԱՆՔ ԴՐԱՆՈՎ ՆՈՒՅՆԻՍԿ ՊԱՐԾԵՆՈՒՄ ԵՆ։ՏԻԳՐԱՆ ՄԵԾԻ ԳԱՆՁԵՐԸ ՀԱՆԵԼՈՎ։I
In Turkey they have excavated the treasures of Tigran the Great of Armenia: They are even boasting about their discovery:
The Royal Treasures of Tigranes the Great of Armenia.
Tigranes II, more commonly known as Tigranes the Great (140 – 55 BC) was King of Armenia. At its height, his empire extended from the Pontic Alps (in modern north-eastern Turkey) to Mesopotamia, and from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean. Under Tigranes II Armenia became the strongest state to Rome's east.
The majority of Armenian artifacts, historical coins and treasures that are featured at auctions are brought from Turkey, which is now occupying the territory of Historical Armenia. Turks just rob Armenian heritage"

I asked for a URL. I'll update this page when I learn of additional information.
