BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:40 A.M.) – On Thursday, two videos surfaced showing Azerbaijani soldiers desecrating graves belonging to Armenians in the recently handed over district of Karvachar (var. Kalbajar).
The first video, which went viral, showed the Azerbaijani forces destroying the grave of an Armenian couple that were buried side-by-side in the Karvachar District.
The Azerbaijani soldiers were seen stepping on the memorial flowers before repeatedly kicking the grave until it was removed from the site.
