/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Nor Serund (New Generation), the Union of Armenians of Georgia, addressed a letter to Azerbaijani Ambassador to Georgia Ramiz Gasanov to express indignation with the acts of vandalism, specifically the destruction of khachkars (cross-stones), gravestones and monuments in the Armenian cemetery in Old Julfa in Nakhichevan, Nor Serund told PanARMENIAN.Net. A group of representatives of various Georgian NGOs was formed for the further investigation of the above-mentioned fact. The leaders of the organization are hopeful for the support of the Ambassador in relative structures for conduction of a monitoring.

The letter addressed to Ambassador Gasanov says in part, “We, Georgian citizens, representatives of the Union of Armenians of Georgia Nor Serund came to know that an outrageous act of vandalism was committed December 15, 2005 in Old Julfa, Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic. Most khachkars, gravestones and monuments in the Armenian cemetery were destroyed or thrown in to River Araks. We are deeply concerned with this fact and express our indignation with such treatment of architectural and historical monuments. We consider that monuments of the kind independently of their belonging, historical origin and location appear as a value for the world heritage. We bring to your notion that a group of representatives of various Georgian NGOs was formed for the further investigation of the above-mentioned fact. We are hopeful for your support in relative structures for conduction of a monitoring.” ! Reproduction in full or in part is prohibited without reference to «PanARMENIAN.Net».

An excellent book and very accurate. Now if only our politicians from both parties would dare to admit this, instead of giving us the: Islam religion of peace or Islam a religion captured by radicals crap.

Many folks are aware of the mass slaughter of Armenians by the Turks in 1915.

Armenians are Christian and so therefore have been subject to Muslim oppression for a thousand+ years.

However, I was unaware that there was another slaughter by the Turks 20 years earlier at the end of the 19th century.

Thanks, that was new to me as well, although I have had a number of American Armenian friends, it was always the 1915 genocide that forced their families to flee.
