On Motherhood and Beauty Day, Azerbaijanis destroyed the “Maternity” sculpture in the occupied Artsakh capital of Stepanakert. The Artsakh Agency for Tourism and Cultural Development reported this on its Facebook page.

“This is not merely another instance of cultural loss. It is part of a systematic policy aimed at erasing memory, identity, and presence, that can only be described as the ‘erasure of the Homeland,'” the agency said.
