Azerbaijan damages another Armenian cemetery in Shushi

Azerbaijan damaged another Armenian cemetery in Shushi between October 5 and November 3, Caucasus Heritage Watch (CHW) reported.

“It appears that bulldozers dumped heaps of debris atop the old Ghazanchetsots cemetery (southeast of the cathedral), endangering the already fragmented tombstones,” CHW said in a statement.

Earlier, it was reported that between October 5 and November 3, bulldozers carved a road through an historic burial ground in Shushi known as the Yerevan Gate cemetery.

This is the fifth Armenian cemetery impacted since November 2020, after the destruction of Mets Tagher and Sghnakh and damage to the cemeteries near Vazgenashen and Shushi.12:12
