According to Caucasus Heritage Watch, based on satellite imagery, the memorial to the 100th anniversary of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, erected in Stepanakert, was destroyed.

As reported by the Caucasian Knot, Karabakh historians and activists have repeatedly reported the destruction of historical buildings and memorials in the region by the Azerbaijani authorities. For example, in December 2025, a video of the destruction inside the Yerits Mankants Monastery appeared on Azerbaijani social media, and satellite imagery showed the destruction of the Holy Savior Monastery. Historians have called on the international community to respond to the destruction of Armenian monuments. Christian monuments in Azerbaijan are protected by the state, Azerbaijani experts insist.

Caucasus Heritage Watch reported on May 4 that a memorial to the victims of the Armenian Genocide in Stepanakert (known in Azerbaijan as Khankendi) had been destroyed, Novosti-Armenia reports.

Activists from the organization stated that satellite images from Airbus and Planet prove that the monument and its associated memorial complex were destroyed between July 14, 2025, and April 25 of this year.

The memorial was erected to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. The white marble bell tower housed a reliquary containing human remains from the Syrian desert of Der Zor.
