in Russian – https://crossroadorg.info/digest-dec-2021/ Azerbaijan continues to commit systematic crimes against the Armenian religious and cultural heritage in the controlled territories of Artsakh (Karabakh). On the other hand, in relation to Azerbaijan, many countries, international organizations (including UNESCO) continue the policy of conniving, expressing just “concern”, and on the part of the media – continue the policy of silence.

Alexandr Manasyan The topic of the Karabakh war is in the first line of the global political discourse now. The invisible dot on the political map named Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) suddenly turned out to be particular bifurcation point, where the main political meridians of the world are intersecting now. The war against Artsakh unleashed by Baku made this obvious. The war is in full swing not only on the battlefield, but also on information portals, where two versions of the conflict essence collide.

It is of utmost importance and urgency to address them today, as now it concerns the very existence of the humanity.
