DESTRUCTION ALERT: Satellite imagery dated April 4 shows that the destruction of the Ghazanchetsots cemetery in Shusha is complete. This marks the first destruction of a cemetery since the @CIJ_ICJ ordered Azerbaijan to prevent and punish attacks on Armenian cultural heritage.1/3
Damage to the cemetery began in October, as CHW reported in an alert on Nov 27. We told the story of the historic site and the threat it faced. At that point, it was not too late to stop the destruction. But by Dec 2023 (see above) it was almost gone. 2/3 x.com/CaucasusHW/sta…

@CaucasusHW @CIJ_ICJ Armenians were not content with just destroying Muslim mosques, they also usurped the Ioann Predtecha (John the Baptist) Orthodox Church in Shusha and the Alban-Udi temples in other regions and Gregorianized them. Khojavend Orthodox Church was completely destroyed.
