Contributor Fears are growing that a wealth of Armenian cultural, historical and religious heritage in areas now under Azerbaijani control are under threat. Some sites were damaged in fighting before the November 9 ceasefire agreement, while officials and experts warn that the Azerbaijani side may try to destroy others or deny their links to Armenian history. On October 8, Azerbaijani forces twice shelled the Ghazanchetsots Cathedral in Shushi with high-precision weapons. Later, the church was desecrated, with inscriptions scrawled on its walls. A few days after the capture of Shushi, Azerbaijani social media users posted a video showing the 1847 church of St John the Baptist being vandalized.
