Demolition of Armenian cemetery in Nakhijevan is medieval barbarism
Demolition of the Armenian cemetery and khachkars in Old Djugha (Nakhijevan) is medieval barbarism and crime against world culture. Armenia has provided UNESCO with all essential information on the issue, RA Foreign Minister said.
"Despite Armenia and Karabakh's efforts, Azerbaijan constantly hampers UNESCO mission called to clarify the situation with the historical and cultural monuments," Edward Nalbandian told reporters today.
The Armenian cemetery in Old Djugha was razed to the ground by Azeri soldiers in December 2005.
Some 3500 khachkars were demolished and the cemetery was transformed into a firing ground.
