THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT AWARE THAT MORNINGSTAR WAS BANNED TO ENTER THE ARMENIAN CEMETERY IN JUGHA

 

 

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS: The U.S. State Department was

not aware that Azerbaijani authorities had banned USA Ambassador to

Azerbaijan Richard Morningstar to visit Armenian cemetery in Jugha. As

reports Armenpress, this was declared by the official representative

of the U.S. State Department Victoria Nuland.

 

To the journalist's observation, that the reason of the ban is that

Armenian monuments have been destroyed in the Armenian cemetery in

Jugha, the representative of the Department of State has replied that

there is no information on that.

 

Earlier Armenpress reported, that USA Ambassador to Azerbaijan Richard

Morningstar was not allowed to enter Armenian cemetery in Jugha.

 

The Armenian Cemetery in Jugha was a medieval-era cemetery near

the town of Jugha, Nakhchivan. The tombstones consisted mainly of

khachkars, uniquely decorated cross-stones characteristic in medieval

Christian Armenian art. The cemetery was still standing in the late

1990s, when the government of Azerbaijan began a systematic campaign

to raze the monuments.

 

PS: I'm personaly not aware of the existense of the State Department of the collonies:)
