As a result of ongoing monitoring of social media platforms, it has become evident that the latest target of vandalism by the Azerbaijani authorities is the cemetery of fallen freedom fighters in the village of Vaghuhas.

#Artsakh is far more than a mere coordinate on a map. It is a sanctuary of memory, a cradle of millennial #Armenian culture, and a landscape defined by #monasteries, fortresses, #khachkars, heroism, and profound sorrow.

@riza_pasha1 I also have academic articles on various topics related to the region.

[Ombudsman of the Cultural Heritage of Artsakh 🇦🇲 @OmbudsmanArme]

@riza_pasha1 @UNESCO Someone who lacks even basic knowledge about the region cannot understand the historical reality.

[Ombudsman of the Cultural Heritage of Artsakh 🇦🇲 @OmbudsmanArme]

Artsakh’s all surviving monuments are facing imminent #destruction, raising fears of a cultural erasure comparable to the obliteration of #Armenian heritage in #Nakhichevan, #Artsakh Cultural Heritage #Ombudsman Hovik Avanesov warned on Monday.

[Ombudsman of the Cultural Heritage of Artsakh 🇦🇲 @OmbudsmanArme]

@UNESCO The territory has a clear name: Artsakh.

[Ombudsman of the Cultural Heritage of Artsakh 🇦🇲 @OmbudsmanArme]

@riza_pasha1 @UNESCO In 1918, the artificial entity of Azerbaijan was created, which was not a subject of international law, while the Azerbaijani nation was artificially created in 1936.

[Ombudsman of the Cultural Heritage of Artsakh 🇦🇲 @OmbudsmanArme]

@riza_pasha1 @UNESCO Artsakh is only temporarily occupied. The dictatorial regime in Baku will be held accountable for the war crimes it has committed.

[Ombudsman of the Cultural Heritage of Artsakh 🇦🇲 @OmbudsmanArme]

@riza_pasha1 @UNESCO Azerbaijan is an artificial formation, and an Azerbaijani nation did not exist until 1936.

[Ombudsman of the Cultural Heritage of Artsakh 🇦🇲 @OmbudsmanArme]

@riza_pasha1 @UNESCO Artsakh has no connection whatsoever with «Azerbaijan», either historically or legally. Any actions carried out there by the dictatorial regime in Baku are regarded, from the standpoint of international law, as war crimes.

“Bell Tower”
The memorial was dedicated to the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide of 1915, serving as a significant symbol of commemoration, the preservation of historical memory, and the consolidation of national identity. https://t.co/YQB9ywdY9n
