Azerbaijan persists in destroying complexes dedicated to martyred heroes in the occupied Artsakh, despite international condemnation.
Furthermore, the pantheon of heroes in Stepanakert has become another target of this destructive policy. This information has been disseminated through Azerbaijani Telegram channels.
Article 4 of the 1954 Hague Convention prohibits any act of vandalism, theft, or destruction against cultural heritage during armed conflict.
The First Protocol of the 1954 Hague Convention specifically prohibits the destruction of cultural or spiritual values in occupied territories.
This once again underscores the grave threat to the entire cultural heritage of Artsakh.
