    Iranian Armenians circulated booklets, DVD about demolition of Armenian
    cemetery in Djulfa

    Yerevan (Yerkir) - The Armenian community of Iran has circulated
    booklets and DVD about demolition of the medieval Armenian cemetery in
    Old Djulfa (Nachijevan) at the hands of Azerbaijan, said Derenik
    Melikian, editor-in-chief of Tehran-based Aliq newspaper. The materials
    were submitted to all diplomatic representations accredited to Iran, he
    said, IA Regnum reports.

    The ancient Armenian cemetery and historical monuments at the
    Nachijevan-Iran border have been systematically destructed during past
    15 years. In December 2005, the Azeri troops razed the cemetery to the
    ground. The process was shot by priests of the Atropaten diocese in
    Iran. In January 2006, the European Parliament passed a resolution
    condemning Azerbaijan's barbarism.

    Now, the territory of the Armenian cemetery was transformed into a
    shooting ground of the Azeri Defense Ministry.
