  Historical and religious monuments destroyed by Armenian vandals -  PHOTOS

The historical and religious monuments, holy sites and temples are also among the victims of the Armenian aggression against the Azerbaijani people. There are 403 historical and religious monuments in the occupied territories, including 67 mosques, 144 churches and 192 sanctuaries. There are more than 900 cemeteries.

As a result of 30 years of Armenia's occupation policy, centuries-old ancient historical and religious monuments of the Azerbaijani people have been destroyed, and some of them have been falsified and Armenianized, AzVision.az reports.

"Yuxari (Upper) and Ashagi (Lower) Govhar Agha mosques (Shusha), Saatli mosque (Shusha) and Juma mosque in Aghdam were destroyed, while Aghoghlan (Lachin district), Khudavang (Kalbajar district), Ganjasar temples (Aghdara) and others located in the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven adjacent districts of Azerbaijan were Armenianized and Gregorianized.

Ancient Azerbaijani religious relics within Armenian territories have also suffered from such vandal actions of Armenians. Armenians have completely destroyed Shah Abbas mosque, Damirbulag mosque, Haji Novruz Ali mosque, Sardar mosque, Bughakar shrine, Aghadada shrines and other holy sites, while they changed architectural features of "Goy" mosque and claimed that it is an Iranian historical monument.

Sometimes Armenians claim that the mosques located in the occupied territories belong not to the Azerbaijani people, but to other states and implement their insidious efforts with this intention.

Armenian aggression against Azerbaijani religious monuments is continuing even today. During April battles in 2016, as a result of provocations of Armenian armed forces, 19th century historical and religious monuments, including mosques were seriously damaged by the Armenian vandals along with other places in Aghdam and Tartar regions.
