Recent satellite images show that Azerbaijan destroyed the village of Mokhrenes in the Hadrut region of Artsakh. The photos have been shared by Nagorno Karabah’s Human Rights Defender.
The village came under the Azerbaijani control in October 2020 as a result of the 44-day war. The satellite imagery shows that the majority of the village houses, the school, the kindergarten, and other buildings have been pulled down.
In total, over 40 homes and buildings have been demolished, while the St. Sargis Church of Mokhrenes was completely destroyed by October 2022. The cultural genocide of Artsakh by Azerbaijan continues with the complicit silence of the international community.
