Toros P'ilisop'a (the Philosopher) and Hovsep Yerazhisht headed the monastic musicians, and various masters of medieval written language studied within the monastery's walls, including Hovhannes Arqayeghbayr (1220–1289, Bishop John of Sis, younger brother of King Hetum I), as well as Sargis Pitsak.

The remains of Drazark monastery, especially its main church of Surb Astvatzatzin (Holy Mother of God), were still known to exist in 1930, but fell from memory as the Armenian population in the area was killed or deported.

In 1981 the American archaeologist Robert W. Edwards discovered the ruins of an extensive medieval monastery and one surviving church of Armenian construction,[3] located approximately 45 km WNW of Sis (Kozan) and known today as Sara Çiçek (“yellow flower”),[4] which he tentatively identified as Drazark.

[5] The unexcavated church, which reveals a plan similar to the barrel-vaulted chapels of Greater Armenia, has a lower level with a conspicuous south entrance leading to a small reception area and possibly crypts.

Samvel Grigoryan is the author of the first article on this topic published in May 2017 « The location of Drazark, burial place of the kings and queens of Armenia and of the 'blessed Rubenians' », Handes Amsorya, Vienne – Erevan 2017, p. 61-84..

In 2015 at the Turkish village of Kibrislar, located approximately 40 km NNW of Sis, Jirair Christianian surveyed online the medieval Armenian church (now converted into a mosque) and concluded very plausibly that this site was the monastic complex of Drazark (this statement is not true).

The remains of Drazark exhibit the largest surviving assemblage of medieval Armenian sculptural elements in Cilicia, including a pair of monumental khatchkars, large sculpted stone crosses mounted in the upper story ashlar masonry of the church's west façade, and an ogee arch with framing colonnettes and bordering geometric designs.
