""Higher resolution imagery will provide a clearer picture in the coming weeks. CHW will also continue working with satellite image providers to try to provide greater resolution on the timing of the destruction.""
""Unlike the centuries-old churches and burial grounds that have been damaged, appropriated, or destroyed by the Azerbaijani regime since the forced displacement of over 130,000 Armenians in September 2023, the Holy Mother of God Church was consecrated in 2019 after 12 years of construction.""
Satellite imagery confirms the demolition of the Holy Mother of God Church in Stepanakert, Artsakh, by the Azerbaijani regime. This church, consecrated in 2019, was a significant cultural site and served as a bomb shelter during the 2020 war. The destruction follows a pattern of targeting Armenian religious and cultural heritage, which has intensified since the forced displacement of over 130,000 Armenians in September 2023. Caucasus Heritage Watch is working to provide clearer imagery of the destruction.
