Armenia accused Azerbaijan on Tuesday of vandalizing Nagorno-Karabakh’s largest Armenian church located in the Azerbaijani-controlled town of Shushi (Shusha).
Photographs taken from nearby hills and publicized on Monday showed the Holy Savior Cathedral stripped of its conical dome and cross that was perched on it. Other parts of the 19
