The information system of the Mother See presented the statement of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, the Department of Spiritual and Cultural Heritage of Artsakh, which reads:

“We strongly condemn the vandalism of the Green Church of St. Hovhannes the Baptist in Shushi by Azerbaijan. This attitude towards spiritual and cultural values ​​is a continuation of Azerbaijan’s activities in relation to Armenian culture for decades.

Trying to erase the evidence of Armenian culture from the land of Artsakh, an attempt is made to eliminate the facts of the historical belonging of our Motherland.

We call on the international community and relevant institutions to condemn such atrocities committed by Azerbaijan against the church in Shushi.”
