Azerbaijan begins controversial renovation of Armenian church Eurasianet 08 May 2021, 00:49 GMT+10 Azerbaijan has begun reconstructing a cathedral in Shusha to what they say is its original form, claiming that it had been inauthentically altered by Armenians in the 1990s. It is the most overt case thus far of Baku s intent to manipulate the heritage of the territory they now control again after winning the war with Armenia last year. For some weeks the Ghazanchetsots Cathedral, the largest church in Shusha, has been covered in scaffolding and on May 3, Armenian sources began reporting that the dome of the church appeared to have been removed. After an outcry from Armenians, including a statement from Armenia s Ministry of Foreign Affairs calling it vandalism, Azerbaijan acknowledged that it was planning to alter the form of the church.
