Jeyrakh-Assin Reserve

The Jeyrakh-Assin historical, architectural and natural museum-reserve is located within the boundaries of the Jeyrakh district of the Republic of Ingushetia on the northern slopes of the foothills of the Central part of the Greater Caucasus Range. The reserve was established on June 2, 1988. The area of the reserve is slightly more than 627 square kilometers. The activity of the reserve is aimed at ensuring the preservation, restoration and study of territorial complexes of cultural and natural heritage, material and spiritual values in their traditional historical (cultural and natural) environment. On the territory of the museum-reserve there are 122 ancient architectural complexes, including more than 2,670 objects of cultural significance, including defensive and residential towers, burial crypts, Christian and pagan sanctuaries and temples. The oldest buildings of the megalithic type belong to the middle of the second millennium BC. Every year, significant scientific discoveries are made on the territory of the reserve, new objects are identified, archaeological expeditions are constantly working, scientists from all over the world come. Since 1996, the reserve has been a candidate for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Significant value in the reserve is given to work on creating conditions for the development of organized tourism, its educational and service component.

Employees of the Dzheyrah-Assinsky Museum-Reserve together with specialists of the project organization ASM GROUP made an inspection trip to the tower complex "Niykoate", where planned work is carried out to identify, fix and record all objects of cultural heritage.

The medieval tower settlement "Niykoate" is located in the Dzheyrakh district, east of "Niy" and north of "Tzizda", administratively included in the rural settlement "Guli". On the territory of the city-settlement there are many historical objects, these are residential towers, mausoleums, early Muslim cemetery, landscaped natural spring, ruins of stone buildings, etc., which, unfortunately, for objective reasons, not all are on the state record. And today, as we see, a lot of work is being done to fill them. The condition of all facilities is emergency.

As you know, the inventory of the OKN is one of the necessary components of a comprehensive study of monuments, it is carried out in order to preserve and popularize objects of cultural heritage, as well as to ensure their integrity. This year, similar work was carried out on 30 tower complexes of mountain Ingushetia.
