    Tombstones dismantled in a cemetery belonging to Azerbaijanis were found in a house where Armenians lived in the Khojavand region.

    The tombstones belonging to 20 Azerbaijanis were found during filming in the Azikh village of Khojavand region, APA reports.

    The marble stones were found in the garage of a house where an Armenian family lived. Names, surnames, dates of birth and death were carved on the tombstones:

    Aliyeva Goncha Hamza gizi (1914-1990)
    Ali Zulfugar oglu Garayev (1933-1992)
    Huseynova Telly Shirin gizi (1903 -1991)
    Mammadov Sarhan Gulmali oglu (1886-1975)
    Gadzhieva Beyim Alekper gizi, (1912-1989)
    Mammadova Shamama Namaz gizi, (1894-1978)
    Safiyev Farhad Mursal oglu (1917-1993)

    Atakishiyeva Beyaz Shirin gizi (1906-1979)
    Guliyev Eyub Huseynaly oglu (1924-1991)
    Hasanov Soltan Shirin oglu (1928-1999)
    Gadir Allahyar oglu Abbasov (1971-1983)
    Zeynalov Umud Salim oglu (1926-1990)

    Although there are no names or surnames on some tombstones, there are pictures on them.

    To recap, the village Azikh of the Khojavand region passed under the control of Armenian armed formations in 1993 and was liberated from the occupation on November 9, 2020.

    During Armenia's three-decade-long occupation, along with humanitarian terror, Armenia committed systematic vandalism against Azerbaijani cultural heritage in Karabakh by erasing historical Azerbaijani toponyms, destroying hundreds of historical and cultural monuments, mosques, and other shrines, desecrating religious values, misappropriating ancient Albanian churches, presenting them as Armenian.

    Nearly 900 cemeteries in the liberated lands were completely destroyed, tombstones were broken, and graves were excavated with the remains desecrated. For the past 30 years, Azerbaijani citizens have been denied the right to visit their loved ones' graves.

    Armenia committed ethnic-cultural genocide as well as ethnic cleansing against Azerbaijanis. There remained no Azerbaijanis in Armenia as a result of the mass deportation of the ethnic Azerbaijanis from their ancestral lands in the early 20th century. Over 250,000 Azerbaijanis were expelled from their native lands and became refugees as a result of the final deportation in 1988 alone.
