    Vandalism of ISIS militants in Iraqi Museum reminds destruction of
    medieval Armenian cemetery by Azerbaijanis

    13:09 28/02/2015 >> SOCIETY


    The video that shows how ISIS militants destroy Iraqi museum exhibits
    in Mosul, mutilating ancient statues, is appalling. Armed with hammers
    and other tools, the members of ultra-radical terrorist group
    destroyed ancient unique artifacts of the world's most ancient
    civilizations. The wanton destruction of cultural and historical
    monuments reminds how about 10 years ago, Azerbaijan destroyed and
    razed to the ground an entire medieval Armenian cemetery in Julfa
    turning it into a shooting ground, writes William Bayramian on "The
    Armenite" site.

    In his article the author tells how, since 1998, Azerbaijan began the
    demolition of thousands of Armenian cross-stones patterned, that were
    decorating tombstones in the Armenian medieval cemetery in Julfa,
    located on the territory of Nakhijevan, which was passed to Azerbaijan
    during the USSR time. In the early 21st century, the Azerbaijani
    servicemen smashed Armenian gravestones using sledgehammers and threw
    them into the river Arax, erasing traces of Armenian culture. The the
    ancient Armenian cemetery soon was replaced by a military shooting
    range.

    "ISIS destroyed exhibits of more than 2,500 year-old prescription.
    Azerbaijan destroyed the eternal resting place of thousands of people.
    It is not a question of better or worse; these are just different
    shades of a horror," reads the publication.
