Azerbaijani pro-government news agencies have disseminated reports entitled "Easter Celebrated in Hadrut" and posted new photos from the Armenian Church of the Surb Harutyun (Holy Resurrection) in the city of Hadrut, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), war.karabakhrecords.info reported.
Examination of these photographs clearly shows that its cross was removed from the church, and its Armenian inscription was erased.
All this is a result of the policy planned by Azerbaijan, which is evidenced by the statements of its high-ranking officials.
Before the Artsakh war in the fall of 2020, the Surb Harutyun was a functioning church, it did not suffer damages during the war, and its desecration was consistently carried out after the war.
After the war, all Armenian cultural monuments are becoming victims of cultural vandalism in the same way in the Azerbaijani-occupied territories of Artsakh.
