Cultural heritage in Artsakh on the edge of being destroyed

A Policy Brief on Cultural Genocide in Artsakh is presented to your attention. This matter demands our immediate attention and considered response. No genuine peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan is possible without addressing humanitarian issues and preventing cultural heritage in Artsakh from being destroyed.

The document is prepared by International and Comparative Law Center Armenia and Armenian Legal Center for Justice and Human Rights. The document details a systematic, state-sponsored campaign by Azerbaijan to eradicate indigenous Armenian cultural heritage in Artsakh.

The document provides evidence of the deliberate and ongoing destruction, desecration, and appropriation of thousands of years of Armenian cultural property, including ancient churches, monasteries, and cemeteries.

The destruction serves as a tool of ethnic cleansing and historical revisionism, aiming to erase all traces of the indigenous Armenian population and justify future territorial claims.

We urge you to review the document and pay close attention to the issues raised in it. Any action is important in protecting the remaining cultural heritage.
