Azerbaijan: Famous Medieval Cemetery Vanishes

as reported by the Institute for war and Peace, Caucasus Reporting Service, April 19, 2006



The famous medieval Christian cemetery of Jugha in Azerbaijan, regarded by Armenians as the biggest and most precious repositor of medieval headstones marked with crosses, the Armenians call the khachkars, of which more than 2,000 were still there in the late eighties. Each elaborately carved tombstone was a masterpiece of carving.

Armenians have said that the cemetery has been razed, comparing its destruction to the demolition of two giant Buddha figures by the Taliban in Afghanistan. International observers can confirm that the cemetery has been razed.

According to Armenian and other historians, Jugha was a flourishing Armenian town in the Middle Ages. But in 1604 Shah Abbas of Persia forcibly resettled the inhabitants to Isfahan, where to this day there is still an Armenian quarter known as New Jugfa.
