Azerbaijan Demolishes Christian Places of Worship in Seized Enclave
Source excerpt
Armenian Christian leaders and global religious freedom advocates are condemning Azerbaijan after satellite imagery confirmed the demolition of two Armenian churches in Stepanakert, the capital of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region known to Armenians as Artsakh. The destruction has intensified longstanding fears that Azerbaijan’s military victory in the region would be followed by the systematic erasure of its Christian heritage. Research supported by satellite imagery has confirmed damage or destruction to hundreds of religious and cultural heritage sites in Artsakh.
