Cemetery Converted to Rifle Range
After the final destruction of ancient Armenian cemetery in Old Julfa (Nakhichevan) in December of 2005, the Azerbaijani army has “converted” the cemetery to a rifle range.
Just a decade ago, thousands of beautiful head stones (khachkars), some as old as the 8th century, were standing in Old Julfa (Hin Jougha).
