It is necessary to clearly understand that striking civilian objects and objects of historical heritage is simply genocide, no matter whose side you join or for whom you feel sorry for. This is what Russian reporter Yuri Kotenok, who was wounded after the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan struck the Holy Savior Ghazanchetsots Cathedral in Shushi (city of Nagorno-Karabakh) for the second time, declared on his Telegram channel.

“Everyone understands that this is a battle for survival. Therefore, if it isn’t stopped, it will last for a very long time. It is the objective of informed forces to stop all this. The South Caucasus needs peace. Nagorno-Karabakh should not be disturbed,” he said.
