[Nader Rastegar]

          There is this serious development which bodes very ominous regarding the DESECRATION of the Magnificent Ancient & Medieval Armenian Cemetery.  The Destruction of Armenian Khachkars in Nakhichevan continues.        The Information in Russian shows the pictures of the tombstones, as well as the text in English. 
  
Dear All,

Some 200 Azerbaijan Republic Troops started from December 10, 2005, until today,  the Azerbaijani government sent 200 soldiers in Nakhichevan to totally destroy Hin Chougha's 400 year old cemetery, by the river Arax.
   
  Please appeal to all your elected and Cultural heritage Friends to voice their condemnation of this senseless act.
