Tsakhkavank Church, the inscriptions, anti-Armenian, Artsakh, AzerbaijanAbstract
The article presents the plan and spatial composition of the Tsakhkavank church in the village of Tsakuri, Hadrut region of the Republic of Artsakh, as well as the construction inscriptions in Armenian written on the walls. Today, the church is occupied by Azerbaijan, which, ignoring all the facts, is conducting a clear policy of eradicating the Armenian cultural and historical traces from the territory of Artsakh, threatening to eliminate and delete the inscriptions of the Armenian churches of Artsakh. The example of Tsaghkavank emphasizes the policy of falsification of regional history, which is a part of the institutionalized anti-Armenian discourse in Azerbaijan.
