KALBAJAR, Azerbaijan, September 3. One of the architectural monuments subjected to Armenian aggression from 1992 to 2020 is the Khudavang Monastery Complex in Azerbaijan's Kalbajar district, Trend reports.
During the Armenian occupation, illegal "restoration" work was carried out in the Khudavang Monastery with the support of the Armenian Apostolic Church and funding from the Armenian government.
These so-called restorations included falsifications to the Arzu Khatun and Hasan the Great churches, as well as other buildings within the complex. Following the liberation of the region, Armenian priests and monks, with the help of foreign specialists, illegally removed ancient frescoes from the site and smuggled them out of Azerbaijan.
Additionally, during the occupation, the bell tower of the Khudavang complex, stone crosses in the shape of the tree of life, and tombstones were also looted.
