I'm half Armenian and I learned about Gobekli Tepe under the name Portasar from my father when i was a little kid. The only sources about the origin of the word Portasar show up online in unofficial sources. I do not read or speak Armenian so I cannot comment on the sources of Gobekli Tepe in Armenian literature. However, one thing that is peculiar to me is that Gobekli Tepe is located on the territory of ancient Armenian Mesopotamia [1]. Anybody else know anything about this?
