A video showing another case of Azerbaijani vandalism in Artsakh is circulating on social media. Armenian MFA Spokeswoman Anna Naghdalyan posted the footage on Twitter, informing the incident had taken place in Arakel village of Artsakh's Hadrut region, currently occupied by Azerbaijan. The video shows Azeri military destroying an Armenian cross-stone.
To remind, the UNESCO Committee for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict adopted on December 14 a declaration on ensuring cultural property protection in and around Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) and setting-up an independent technical mission. Later, the UNESCO Secretariat publicly announced that only Azerbaijan has not responded on request to send an expert mission of UNESCO to the Nagorno-Karabakh and the adjacent areas, in fact, clearly highlighting Azerbaijan’s destructive approach.
