ANCA Nakhichevan Action
In light of reports that ancient khachkars (stone crosses) are once again being destroyed in the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhichevan, the Armenian National Committee of America has set up a page with further information and ways to protest the destruction of these old Armenian monuments.
The cemetery, home to more than 10,000 individual khatchkars, was subjected to sustained attacks throughout the 20th Century and again, starting in 2002, when Azerbaijani forces crushed hundreds of the crosses and shipped the rubble from the region by rail. The most recent attacks have been the worst yet.
