    New buildings to be erected at demolished Christian
    cemetery in Baku

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Complete demolition of the cemetery
    in the Narimanov district in Baku made no sense, a
    human rights activist said.

    -The cemetery was demolished to use the territory as a
    ground for new buildings,- said Taisia Gordeyeva, the
    deputy chair of the committee of soldiers' mothers.

    -They tried to justify the barbarism by construction
    of roads but, as a matter of fact, roads will take a
    minor part of the graveyard. Everything prompts that
    the territory is meant for construction of new
    buildings. But it will be a construction on human
    bones, for the remnants were not reburied properly,-
    she said, adding that a park should be laid out at the
    site, Day.az reports.

    In September 2007, Baku authorities decided to build a
    motorway through the Narimanov cemetery, where
    Armenians, Russians and Ukrainians were buried.
