The infringements of Azeris against Armenian cultural monuments and
the desire to present these as their own have found their expression
in Nagorno-Karabakh as well. Khachkars from the ruined churches of
Tsar village serve as materials for Azerbaijani schools and other
constructions. The historic monuments in Karvajar or, as it is common
to say, Kelbajar region of Nagorno-Karabakh have not been properly
investigated. However, the region has been rich in inhabitable
caves, temples, cathedrals and churches. These monuments are not
even mentioned in the literature, historians and archaeologists
say. Moreover, from early 1980s Azeri scientists have been carrying
out their investigations, naturally presenting the Armenian cultural
monuments as their own. Some investigations have been carried out
and publicized by some clergymen. Thus, a rich piece of work has been
published by Makar Bishop, who visited also Tsar village.
