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.
