As can be clearly seen from the space photo published by the Caucasus Heritage Watch website, Azerbaijan has dug bunkers in the area of the burial ground of the Armenian early-Christian settlement of Gyavurkala (literally: "fortress of the unbelievers") in the village of Haykajur (former Azerbaijani Sofullu) of the Martakert region of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), informed monumentwatch.org, which monitors Artsakh's cultural heritage.

After Tigranakert, Gyavurkala is the largest early Christian Armenian settlement of the Artsakh steppe. It covers an area of about two hectares, has a round earthen wall, a hall church of the 5th-6th centuries, built with hewn stones and decorated with cross designs. The pillar of this early-Christian monument was still standing.

As it can be seen from the space photo and the map of the city, the aforesaid early-Christian burial ground is located east of the church.

One of the earliest Armenian inscriptions of the Artsakh steppe was found in the 1950s in the cemetery of the city, exactly where the Azerbaijani bunkers were dug today.

It is not ruled out that other sarcophagi with Armenian inscriptions are also found in that area.

Azerbaijan persistently continues the destruction of Armenian traces in the Azerbaijani-occupied territories of Artsakh. There is a big risk that such bunkers will be placed in the area of the settlement itself, too.

Azerbaijan once again grossly violates its obligations under international conventions.
