In March 2021, a user named Karabakh Honor posted a video on his YouTube channel, which clearly shows that the Saint Astvatsatsin Armenian Church of Artsakh’s (Nagorno-Karabakh) Karintak village, which came under the control of Azerbaijan after the 44-day war in the fall of 20220, is being vandalized, according to monumentwatch.org, which monitors Artsakh's cultural heritage.

The video clearly shows that the Holy Altar of the church tabernacle is broken and divided in half, the inside of the church is turned upside down, the Azerbaijani soldiers enter and leave the church, climb on the tabernacle, desecrate it, and enter the depositories—which are also turned upside down.

In addition, it is obvious that, violating the ritual function of this Christian structure, the Azerbaijani vandals are saying a Muslim prayer in the Christian church.

Judging by the video, we can conclude that a large Azerbaijani military unit is stationed in Karintak, and its soldiers disrespect the Armenian cultural heritage.
