How much longer must our lands rot under a plague of uncultured swines?

Re: Destruction of the Armenian Cemetery at Djulfa
Why wont the Armenian government use this as evidence agains the Azeris? We have troops stationed in Artsax to insure the protection of Artsahk's Armenian population - which obviously is under attack by the racist Azeri government - who wants to do nothing but destroy the Armenian people and its culture. Genocidal in intent?Comment

DO SAMVEL KARAPETIAN'S PHOTOS REVEAL EVIDENCE OF CULTURAL GENOCIDE ?
Arakelots monastery in Sassoon, Sourp Partoghimeos church in Van, Khtskonq monastery in Kars, Arakelots church in Mush ... these are only a few among the Armenian cultural and historical monuments that are in the process of being destroyed in occupied Western Armenia and the trace of Armenian presence is being definitively erased by the Turkish government.
An organization studying the Armenian architecture has taken photographs of the barbarism directed against every monument of Armenian style. The "Cultural Genocide" photo exhibition and the conference dedicated to this subject in France, present the works of Mr. Samvel Karapetian during the last years. The historical aspects will be explained by Mrs Mélanya Balayan and the analytical aspects by Mr. Arménag Aprahamian.
Photos shot recently and in 2000-2003 are displayed beside 100 to 150 years old pictures, showing how churches and sculptures were turned into mosques, cattle sheds or completely destroyed.
The exhibition and conference are organized by the Hay Djampa France organization and the National Council of Armenians from Western Armenia.
Very few people know what is currently happening in occupied Western Armenia. These actions aim at making our compatriots and the international public opinion aware of the physical aggression still suffered by the Armenian people, 90 years after the Genocide.
It is considered to put the exhibition at the disposal of several countries. Moreover, the organizers are thinking over the preparation of a resolution denouncing these exactions to international organizations, this resolution being the final objective of the conference programme in France.
Once more, in 2005, the most elementary rights of a several thousand years old nation are denied by a government which is the heir of the most odious crimes. It is thus necessary to apply the democratic rights to everyone, including the Armenians from Western Armenia, descendants of the Genocide survivors.Comment

The situation of Armenian monuments in Turkey and those that are in Azerbaijan are two entirely separate issues, requiring separate solutions.
In Turkey, the fact that there are things still to be photographed doesn't exactly indicate a particularly dilligent policy of cultural genocide, does it? Even after 90 years there are still 100s of Armenian churches in Turkey, and Karapetian can freely move about there and photograph them and make his propaganda. It is a fact that in Turkey there is no state-enshrined policy of destroying Armenian monuments - and there probably never has been. In Azerbaijan, however, there is such a state policy, and it has been entirely successful. Every Armenian church that once existed in Nakhchivan has been destroyed - there were hundreds of them - and it has all happened within the last 10 years.Plenipotentiary meow!Comment

Re: Destruction of the Armenian Cemetery at Djulfa
I suspect it is because the current Yerevan regime does not want to give publicity to anything that would encourage the population of NK to seek complete independence. (Independence not only from Azerbaijan but from Armenia as well). But Kocharian gains as long as the region is in a political limbo.Originally posted by ace
Look at that video - do you not think that the soldier depicted gleefully smashing that khatchkar would not, if given the opportunity, just as gleefully be smashing in the heads of Armenian women and children in Artsakh. Publicity showing just how bestial and racist Azeri's are would convince the population of NK that any political compromise with Azerbaijan is impossible (since would eventually lead to their erradication as assuredly as it has led to the erradication of Julfa) and that the only solution is to declare their independence.Plenipotentiary meow!Comment

We can use this evidence in order to convince the ''international community'' that we are the victims and generally , through effective propaganda, use this situation in order to gain a more favourable solution for Armenia in the NK issue.
Moreover we must raise the issue of Nachichevan as well, instead of staying silent, and prove that there has been an ethnic cleanshing towards the local Armenian population plus a cultural genocide. This would help us in a more favourable solution regarding the NK problem.
I am afraid that we are seen as the ''bad guys'' in the international community, regarding the NK issue and this is because we haven't raised the Nachichevan issue as much we should.
The Armenian regime is indiferent and unorganized.Comment

Azerbaijan rewriting history by erasing Armenian traces
Cultural Vandalism or Raping History?
Where is the civilized Europe? Where is UNESCO? Why does no one intervene?
This movie clip, dated December 14-16, 2005, shows how Azerbaijani soldiers, with heavy machinery, destroy the last evidence of Armenian presence in Nakhichevan, the historical Armenian province which together with Nagorno Karabakh was given away to the neighbouring Azerbaijani Republic. As a result of the implemented Soviet policy, Nakhichevan was at last depleted of its entire Armenian population. The clip confirms firmly the fact that the organiser of this cultural genocide is none other than the Azerbaijani government. Obviously, Azerbaijan is firmly determined to prevent “another Karabakh” by erasing the slightest indication of Armenian existence in Nakhichevan. The living Armenians have since long time ago forced to leave the region, but apparently there is also a fear of the dead and buried Armenians and their cries beyond the grave.
Nakhichevan is an exclave which belongs to Azerbaijan but Armenia’s territory separates them apart. Nakhichevan borders, however, on Armenia, Turkey, and Iran. It was from this area that the Persian King Shah Abbas, during the Persian-Ottoman war, forcibly relocated about 150,000 Armenians year 1620 and resettled them in the outskirts of his capital, Isfahan.
The place for this barbarian action caught on tape is a cemetery with thousands of Khatchkars, “Cross stones”, invaluable historical and cultural monuments from the period between 15th and 16th centuries.
Several Armenian organisations and authorities, among other the Foreign Ministry, have handed in official protests to UNESCO and other international organisation, but also to the US embassy in Azerbaijan.
This action makes one to recall the recent desecrations of xxxish cemeteries in different European cities. But unlike the immediate media coverage and attention given to these criminal acts it seems that no one bothers to care about this last act of cleansing the last evidence of Armenians in Nakhichevan.
Will the world and Europe just stand by and watch while this rape of history takes place?
