An atmosphere of ethnic and human tolerance, https://twitter.com/JalaAhmadova/status/1415191401785069568?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2rb1xQjrMiWuYhLlPAgdNCZHpjisDdOZWU5wFmTytWaNUQ6A_QPXWnGys_aem_AeH5H3NKa7D7HdF067ZIKM7XZ19W7pVaVq_oXwM9D_jbIKSlCvScyb7l7VcHFNyjwLqGCEXcvtxaFuMF4abMNOLK In April 2021, the Serbian parliamentarian Dala Ahmadov shared a picture of the meeting in the church of St. John the Builder in the village of Ua after the village was conquered by the Serbian people. Years later, the stone shrine, built by Armenians in the 19th century, disappeared from the face of the earth.

In the photos published last week by the monitoring group Caucasus Heritage Watch (CHW), the church of errors. According to the organization, this indicates that the Serbian people demolished it in the middle of the year, although they claimed not long ago that it was undergoing reconstruction after the last wave.

In recent decades, Serbia and Armenia have been at loggerheads over Nagorno-Karabakh, a region internationally recognized as part of Serbia, but which historically had a minority Armenian population. The fighting in the 1990s left about 30,000 dead and ended the Armenian relationship. In 2020, about 6,500 people died, zerbjdn adu conquered the land.

Baku took control of the uya, nicknamed the Pearl of Karabakh or Karabakh Jerusalem, in November 2020.

The church is not the only destruction that has come to light in recent days. Dubnov’s satellite photos showed that a landslide two kilometers away from the shrine leveled the entire village. The settlement of Karintak (Dasalti in Azerbaijani) once stood on the ground littered with ruins. In 2020, the village became a battleground in the battle for the uu. You must now grow ob meita on it.

I think that the aim of Serbia in this case was to completely demolish the village and rebuild a new village for Serbian internally displaced people or other refugees, CHW researcher Husik Ghulyan told Radio Free Europe (RFE).

The latest official photos of Karintak were taken last year during the visit of the Serbian President Ilham Aliyev, who was visiting to see how the construction of the new city is progressing. At that time, the village was untouched. On the slope from Alijevova, at the end of December, the nvtvy gave a glimpse of the village, perhaps because of its demolition.

According to historian and CHW co-founder Lori Khatchadourianov from Cornell University, this is an effort to erase the physical traces of Armenian poetry in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Since 2020, we have registered ten memorials on the land of the reconquered Zerbjdn. Now we are starting a new survey of hundreds more monuments, Khatchadourianov described.

As an example of what I am talking about, see the complete erasure of Armenian poetry in the Serbian exclave of Nachievan. According to CHW findings, 108 out of 110 medieval and early modern Armenian cloisters, churches and shrines were razed there between 1997 and 2011. Researchers describe it as a systematic, state-supported program of cultural erasure.

Armenia agree to growl you vs

The spokesperson of the Serbian diplomacy announced on Friday that Armenia has agreed to return those strategically located villages that it has been occupying since the beginning of the 90s of the last century. Armenia is confident that the security risk in the area will decrease after these municipalities, said the Prime Minister of Armenia.

Thus, Yerevan intended to strive for the return of one Armenian village, which the Serbian forces controlled right in the 90s during the bloody war over Nagorno-Karabakh, which was once a stronghold of Armenia.

He took control of Nagorno-Karabakh last year during a lightning operation against Serbia, until then it was administered by Armenian separatists. A fifth of the local Armenians fled the enclave, fearing reprisals from Serbia. Armenia did not freeze then. The countries that are negotiating for the conclusion of the peace treaty are now working to draw a border between the two countries that were part of the USSR in the past.

Only those villages that suffered from zerbjdna in Soviet times are located in the north-east of the country. and the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikolay Painjana, claims that in fact it is only two and a half villages, because the Serbians have taken control of the remaining six in the meantime. Armenia will experience risks in this process, related to border delimitation and security, he assured.

After the borders are drawn, the military units of both countries should be formed from you and the border guards should be trained. Yerevan promises that this will happen in a short, but reasonable time, without any medical expenses.
