    The Iranian-Armenian community has disseminated booklets and DVDs,
    which contain information about the destructive actions of Azerbaijan
    against the Armenian cultural legacy of Old Jugha (Nakhijevan),
    editor-in-chief of the Tehran based `Alik' newspaper Derenk Melikyan
    declared, `Regnum' reports.

    According to him, the materials have been provided to all diplomatic
    representations accredited in Iran.

    Let us remind that the medieval Armenian cemetery of Old Jugha at the
    border between Nakhijevan and Iran and the historic monuments have been
    consistently destroyed over the past 15 years.

    In December 2005 divisions of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan finally
    destroyed the cemetery, which was recorded by members of the Atrpatakan
    Diocese of the Armenian Church. In January 2006 the European Parliament
    adopted a resolution condemning Azerbaijan's actions in Old Jugha.

    Azerbaijan has constructed a firing ground instead of the Armenian
    cemetery.
