We strongly condemn the vandalism done to Shushi St. John Mkrtich (Kanach Jam) church. Actions of Azerbaijan shows the decades long policy of this country of erasing all the traces of Arminian historical presence in the historical land of the Armenians.
We call on the international community and relevant organizations to condemn such unacceptable actions of Azerbaijan and to take urgent active steps towards prevention of such actions of vandalism.
