FINAL ACT – JUGHA CEMETERY A FIRING RANGE
AZG Armenian Daily
17/03/2006
The photo accompanying this article was made only 5 days ago by very
rev. Topuzian, and depicts the Armenian cemetery that only 15 years
ago had 10.000 khachkars but due to Azerbaijani barbarism this number
was reduced to 3.500. A caption by very rev. Topuzian underneath
the photo reads: “As an eyewitness to this sacrilege I can say this
is the evidence of ‘final act’ (Friday, 10 March 2006) when we saw
the great territory of Old Jugha cemetery completely destroyed…
wiped away… transformed into a firing range.”
It goes without saying that other monuments of Armenian history
and culture invisible from the Iranian border were eliminated long
ago. The Azeri state has one goal: to demolish all traces of Armenian
presence to avoid another headache in future.
