Report shows near-total erasure of Armenian heritage sites | Cornell ... (Cornell Chronicle)

Cornell's Caucasus Heritage Watch compiled decades of high-resolution satellite imagery to document the complete destruction of Armenian cultural heritage ...

The erasure of the Armenian sites in Nakhchivan is particularly troubling, the researchers say, because Azerbaijan has gone to great lengths to keep their policy of heritage erasure secret. They spent a lot of money on UNESCO trying to brand Azerbaijan as a land of tolerance even as they undertook a systematic program of heritage demolition.” So unlike ISIS, or the Taliban, which made a big spectacle out of their form of heritage destruction, Azerbaijan does not want to be known as a state that sponsors cultural erasure. To identify the locations of the destroyed sites, the researchers turned to scholarly surveys of the region’s architectural history. satellite images from the 1970s and 1980s, Soviet maps from the 1930s to 1990s, and more recent satellite imagery, all of which enabled them to construct a meticulous visual timeline that shows the gradual eradication of cultural heritage sites. In some cases, such as the Saint Tovma Monastery of Agulis, the buildings were replaced by mosques or other civic buildings. The two remaining sites – a small cemetery and a chapel – possibly evaded notice because they were in such poor condition they weren’t recognized as Armenian. Tovma](https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/c0b4f1fa78ea4c5ab6e67bdac79cb5d7) in the village of Agulis, an important ecclesiastical center of medieval Armenia, featured exquisite frescoes and inscriptions. Nshan Monastery of Bist](https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/ff414f95e6de47eab0f839c9876cc4f2) was a well-known medieval cultural center with a scriptorium that produced illuminated manuscripts now held in museums. Moreover, the latest finding of CHW’s heritage monitoring project suggests that the same policy of cultural erasure now threatens Armenian monuments in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan. The destruction of St. The region had been inhabited for centuries by a multicultural mix of Armenian, Turkic and Persian communities.

Russia and West alarmed by fresh war drums on Armenia (EUobserver)

At least 49 Armenian soldiers have reportedly been killed by Azerbaijan in a conflict highlighting the fragility of the former Soviet region beyond Ukraine.

The Russian province of Chechnya also has a bloody modern history. The US secretary of state and the EU foreign relations chief also called for restraint. "Armenia should cease its provocations," Turkish foreign minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said. Azerbaijan denied any ceasefire violation and accused Armenia of moving weapons systems to sensitive spots, in a conflict with no international monitors on the contact line to verify claims. The killings were meant to scupper upcoming talks on the future status of a fiercely-disputed mountain region — Nagorno-Karabakh — Pashinyan also said. Azerbaijan had fired on the Armenian border towns of Jermuk, Goris, and Kapan using drones, mortars, and long-range artillery in the small hours of Tuesday, Armenia said.
