Architec­ture

Armenians des­troy the inscrip­tions and ima­ges belonging to the Azer­baija­ni people engraved on the monu­ments in the ce­meteries of Wes­­tern Azer­baijan and pre­sent them as Ar­menian or Per­sian monu­ments.

The following is written on one of the ram statues in the ancient cemetery  located in the Garakilsa district: Eve­ry  being on earth is bound to perish. Only your Lord Himself, full of Majesty and Honour, will remain ˹forever˺ Nobel Quran, 55 surah 26-27 ayah, Translation: Habiba Aliyeva.

In the cemete­ries of Western Azer­baijan, the ins­crip­tions on the stone ram sculp­­tures created by the masters of Azer­­baijan in the mid­dle of the century, the ar­tis­tic carving craftsmen, point to the antiquity of the material and cultural heri­ta­ge of Azer­baijan.
