Feb 12 2021

As a result of the 44-day war in Artsakh in 2020, numerous churches, natural and historical monuments, museums in Artsakh fell under the control of Azerbaijan. Its devastating consequences can be seen in the footage filmed and spread on social media by the Azerbaijanis.

The Artsakh Public TV reports that in order to support the mission of preserving, regaining and monitoring cultural property, the Public Council of Cultural Heritage has been established in Artsakh recently. The council gave assurances in a statement that they will do everything possible to achieve tangible results.  

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
