As a response to the international criticism concerning the Azerbaijani destruction of the ancient Armenian cemetery of Old Julfa, Azerbaijanis are screaming that the same happens in Armenia to Azerbaijani/Muslim monuments. They went to the point to publish an article in the Turkish newspaper Zaman, which shamelessly declares, “Armenians Destroy Turkish-Islam Artifacts” (February 17, 2006).

Of course Armenians are not angels and of course such destructions might be possible! Very much possible! But, please, show evidence that Azerbaijani monuments are indeed being destroyed in Armenia.

There IS EVIDENCE, according to the Azerbaijanis, some of whom posted the “evidence” at the Russian-language Azerbaijani forum www.day.az!

Let’s post the Azerbaijani evidence at Blogian and see what the evidence is about!

According to the “evidence,” the photo below shows the 14th century Soltan Ahmad Palace in Soltanlar village (Lachin region, Nagorno Karabakh Republic-Armenia). Azerbaijanis say this is what Armenians left from the Palace!

Now, let’s not pay attention to the fact that the photo above is not “Soltan Ahmad Palace,” but the Armenian palace of Kashataghk, built in the 15th century by melik Haikaz. But do pay attention to the photo below taken in 1985.

Do you see difference in the two photos except for one being color and the other one not? For those who don’t know…in 1985 Lachin was still part of Soviet Azerbaijan. Therefore, the monument (let alone that it was not even Azerbaijani) has not been destroyed by Armenians, as Azerbaijanis claim.

Want another Azerbaijani “evidence?”
How about the photo below that “testifies” that Armenians destroyed this “temple from middle ages/Varazgun area?”

Again, forget the fact that this is the Armenian Church Varazavank (why the hell Armenians would even destroy their own cathedral!), and have a look at the photo below. This photo is from 1984 when Lachin was under Soviet Azerbaijan’s rule.

Having posted the information above, I can, without feeling guilty, say that Azerbaijani nationalists are the biggest falsifiers on this planet!
