Azerbaijan damages another Armenian cemetery in Karabakh’s Shushi

Between October 5 and November 3, another Armenian cemetery was damaged in Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh, informed the Caucasus Heritage Watch (CHW) international organization. It appears that bulldozers dumped heaps of debris atop the old Ghazanchetsots cemetery (southeast of the cathedral), endangering the already fragmented tombstones.

The location of the cemetery is confirmed by maps, publications, and recent photographs.This is the sixth Armenian cemetery impacted since November 2020, after the destruction of Mets Tagher and Sghnakh villages, damage to the cemetery near Vazgenashen village, and damage to Shushi’s Northern and Yerevan Gates cemeteries.
