Is it possible to prevent the destruction of the Armenian sanctuaries in Artsakh?
In the 1970s the declassification of the photos taken by the American special services made it possible to reveal the destruction of the Armenian churches in Nakhichevan by Azerbaijan. International expert Simon Maghakyan conducted an investigation based on declassified materials, which was published by an authoritative international periodical. Maghakyan thinks that today the same fate awaits the Armenian sanctuaries of Artsakh under the control of Azerbaijan. The destruction of shrines can be prevented with the help of religious diplomacy tools. Anna Sargsyan talked to Simon Maghakyan in the "Third Millennium" pavilion.
