ArmInfo. The ARTSAKH Publishing House has started creating the Artsakh Heritage Internet portal, which is a digital archive in the format of an electronic encyclopedia.
As reported by the press service of the publishing house, the project is aimed at creating an interactive space with the possibility of participation of Artsakh residents, representatives of the Armenian Diaspora and specialists in various fields. The main goal of the project is to preserve the rich cultural heritage of Artsakh, strengthen and unite the Artsakh society.
"Each user will be able to contribute to the creation of the Artsakh Heritage portal by adding information about cultural values, the history of their family, memories of their native Artsakh," the report says.
The nature of the region, its settlements, and attractions will be presented within the framework of the project. The capabilities of the portal will also allow for a digital census of Artsakh residents scattered throughout the world.
According to the source, the project is being implemented jointly with Almar Group and will be made possible thanks to the new social networking service Almar Messenger.
On September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan committed another act of aggression against Artsakh under the pretext of an "anti-terrorist operation". This was preceded by a nearly 10-month blockade of the unrecognized republic. As a result of the enemy aggression, hundreds of Artsakh residents were injured, and more than 200 were reported killed, including civilians. On September 20, Artsakh fell. Azerbaijan began the violent subjugation of the NKR. Since the enemy aggression that began in the fall of 2020, which in September 2023 ended in the complete ethnic cleansing of Artsakh, over 150 thousand Artsakh residents have lost their homeland and become refugees. After the occupation of Artsakh, Azerbaijan began to actively erase the Armenian trace in these territories - it destroys objects of Armenian cultural and spiritual heritage, distorts their essence, and appropriates them.
