Samvel Karapetyan: Azerbaijan enemy of civilization

Armenian cultural monuments were destroyed secretly in the territory of Azerbaijan in the Soviet period, however, the destruction of the monuments after the Nagorno Karabakh war was unprecedented, Head of Research on Armenian Architecture NGO Samvel Karapetyan told reporters.

According to him, “meanwhile, Azerbaijan has invented a story about the alleged origin of the Armenian Christian monuments, saying that indeed, they have been built by their Agvan ancestors.”

“Then, why does Azerbaijan abolish the monuments built by their ancestors?”

The expert noted that the Armenian side tries to get photos of Armenian historical monuments in Azerbaijan.

“A photo we managed to get from an Azerbaijani sent on a mission from Krasnodar features that the church in the Shamakhi region has been blown up,” S. Karapetyan said.

Note that the expert is going to open an exhibition titled “Azerbaijan – the Enemy of Civilization,” to be attended by representatives of all embassies accredited to Armenia.
