ArmInfo.Azerbaijan is in a hurry to completely get rid of the rich Armenian cultural heritage in  Nagorno-Karabakh. This is how the Ambassador of Armenia to Greece to Cyprus & Albania Tigran Mkrtchyan commented on the 7th report of Caucasus Heritage Watch (CHW) on Artsakh, which reports a 75%  increase in cases of destruction of Armenian heritage in the occupied territories of the NKR by Azerbaijan.

" Have been warning about this  extremely dangerous process. Azerbaijan is in a hurry to get  completely rid of the rich Armenian cultural heritage in Nagorno  Karabakh. It's vandalism or,worse, a cultural genocide. Thus, Baku is  consistently&exceedingly violating CIJ ICJ decisions," Mkrtchyan  said.

Earlier, Caucasus Heritage Watch published a report based on  satellite images, which talks about the destruction of Armenian  cultural and religious heritage in the occupied territories of  Artsakh by Azerbaijan.

"We are deeply concerned that the total number of destroyed heritage  sites has increased by 75% between our missions in autumn 2023 and  spring 2024, and the number of sites classified as endangered has  also increased by 29%," the Caucasus Heritage Watch report says.
