A Yazidi-Armenian soldier, Kyaram Sloyan, for instance, was decapitated by Azerbaijani soldiers during Azerbaijan’s war against Artsakh in 2016. Videos and pictures showing Azerbaijani soldiers posing with Sloyan’s severed head were posted on social media. The Azerbaijani allegations, which claim the destruction of hundreds of mosques, religious schools, cemeteries and museums in the Shusha, Yerevan, Zangazur and Icmiadzin districts of Armenia, have undoubtedly compounded the reluctance of international organisations to get involved in a situation described to The Art Newspaper by Guido Carducci, the head of Unesco’s International Standards Section, as "a political hot potato". Baroness Cox, a long-standing campaigner for the protection of Armenian heritage in Azerbaijan who has urged the British government to take action, told The Art Newspaper that, despite the influential Armenian Diaspora, both the US and UK administrations are more concerned with cultivating close relations with oil-rich Azerbaijan and its ally Turkey, than with Armenia

10, 2016. Russian intelligence documents even furnished the license plate numbers of trucks dispatched by the IHH loaded with arms and supplies bound for al-Qaeda-affiliated groups including the Nusra Front. Baku’s ability to court friendships has produced many notable results, including a 2015 Time Magazine op-ed describing Azerbaijan as "an oasis of tolerance," commendations of Azerbaijan’s "exemplary interfaith harmony" in several US state legislatures, and medals bestowed upon Azerbaijan’s Vice President - President Aliyev’s wife - by the leaders of France, the Russian Orthodox Church, and even UNESCO, the international organization charged with protecting world heritage. UNESCO’s commendations of Azerbaijan have been particularly puzzling. However, the lack of international condemnation of Azerbaijan’s actions has been a source of frustration to many Armenians. Moreover, following his 2009 retirement, UNESCO director-general Kōichirō Matsuura joined Azerbaijan’s state-managed "Baku International Multiculturalism Centre" as a trustee, while his successor Irina Bokova frequented Baku for President Aliyev’s "World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue." Allegations of foul play lack hard evidence, however, perhaps except for The Guardian’s September 4, 2017 report "UK at centre of secret $3bn Azerbaijani money laundering and lobbying scheme." This investigative article by Luke Harding, Caelainn Barr, and Dina Nagapetyants cited questionable payments to Bokova’s husband. In 2016, after a "renovation" that significantly altered the original structure, the Azerbaijani authorities reopened the formerly Russian church as a "temple-museum" to, in part, use its interior for displaying photos of nearby Islamic monuments, followed by Azerbaijan’s state media’s praise of the conversion as a testament to "multiculturalism and tolerance." St

" Four years later, Comrade Aliyev would become Soviet Azerbaijan’s leader and then, in 1993, president of independent Azerbaijan. The Armenians are still fighting to get acknowledgement of the genocide of their people by the Ottoman Turks which reached its peak in 1915. After 1921, when the southern enclaves of Nakhichevan and Nagorno Karabakh were absorbed into Soviet Azerbaijan, many Armenians fled the area and much of their cultural heritage was destroyed. Amid Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s glasnost and perestroika, Nagorno-Karabakh became a war zone

According to witnesses, as quoted in Armenian reports, in a three-day operation last December, Azerbaijani soldiers armed with sledgehammers obliterated the remnants of the Djulfa cemetery (known as Jugha in Armenian). He works closely with the Turkish Embassy in Baku. He set up the Union of Muslim Students (Müslüman Talebeler Birliği) and had served as the Caucasus representative of Turkish political Islam grassroots organization Milli Görüş (National View). While some Azerbaijanis have embraced their government’s vandalism as either righteous revenge or a national security measure against potential Armenian territorial claims, other Azerbaijanis - in addition to the humanist author Akram Aylisli - have mourned the destruction. But a newly released book reveals that Aylisli first protested the destruction in Nakhichevan nearly a decade earlier. The ambassador had intended to probe the reported destruction of thousands of historical Medieval Christian Armenian artworks and objects at the necropolis of Djulfa in Nakhichevan. Despite ample testimony to the contrary, Azerbaijan claims that Nakhichevan was never Armenian. However, for 11 days, Azerbaijan did not allow the problem to be assessed and repaired. Büyükfırat kept the phone conversation cryptic and said he was involved in "major stuff that is important." Mullah Muhammed prayed for him and added that "Allah will clear your path." During police questioning, Mullah Muhammed denied knowing Büyükfırat, although Büyükfırat admitted he knew him well and described him as a close family cleric
