Where is this half buried Armenian church or monastery?

While browsing Wikipedia and the Internet about some damaged Armenian churches in Tbilisi Georgia I came across an amazing photo (but I know this one is not in Tbilisi).

The Armenian language web page where I first saw a picture of it.

Haghpat Monastery

Unless my eyes are paying tricks on me it seems to be a half buried Armenian monastery, still intact but with beautiful green lawn growing on the mounds which conceal some of it!

Where is it? What's it called? Is it really partially buried? Can I visit it?
