Officials in Nagorno-Karabakh on Tuesday accused Azerbaijan of systematically destroying Karabakh Armenian cemeteries in the disputed territory’s south captured by it during last year’s war.
Davit Babayan, the Karabakh foreign minister, claimed that their tombstones are being smashed and used in the ongoing construction of a new highway passing through the Azerbaijani-controlled Hadrut district.
“According to some reports, cemeteries in Hadrut villages are destroyed en masse and their tombstones used for road construction. This is barbarism,” he told RFE/RL’s Armenian Service.
Babayan said Baku is seeking to erase all traces of centuries-old Armenian presence in Hadrut whose ethnic Armenian residents fled their homes during the fighting.

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
th century church, commonly known as Ghazanchetsots, were covered in scaffolding.
Azerbaijani authorities did not immediately comment on those changes. Karabakh’s human rights ombudsman, Gegham Stepanian, said they are trying to “distort” the appearance of the white stone church “under the guise of renovation works.”
