N2  - Evidence of TeV &#947;-ray emission has been found for only a handful of active galactic nuclei, with detailed investigations limited to the blazars Mrk 421 and Mrk 501. TeV &#947;-ray astronomy, as the highest energy band, provides important information that is hard to obtain from longer wavelength electromagnetic radiation. The current status of TeV &#947;-ray studies of active galactic nuclei is summarized and our understanding of the high energy phenomena taking place in active galactic nuclei is outlined, with the prospects for future TeV &#947;-ray observations also considered.>
