Samvel Karapetyan: "All Armenian traces being destroyed in Azerbaijani-occupied Shahoumyan"

12:35, June 13, 2012

Samvel Karapetyan, a noted specialist in the preservation of Armenian cultural monuments, told reporters that Azerbaijan is destroying everything in the northern Artsakh district of Shahoumyan (now under Baku's control) that testifies to an Armenian presence on those lands.

Karapetyan said that the only structures not being razed are those of any practical value – bridges, fountains, etc. He said that in these cases the names of the Armenian builders are being erased.

He said that we have very patchy up to date information as to the situation of Armenian cultural and historical monuments both in Azerbaijani-occupied northern Artsakh and in Nakhijevan.
