Many photos and videos were spread showing the Armenian burning homes and crowded streets while bidding farewell to their homes and land.

One of the trending scenes is the tearful goodbye by the residents of the town to their "Sumela" monastry with no certain news about the future of the monastery.

According to the Armenpress, "the Foreign Ministry of Armenia issued a statement, strongly condemning the vandalization of Holy Savior Ghazanchetsots Church in Shushi. As Armenpress was informed from the press service of the MFA Armenia, the statement runs as follows,

''Just a few days after the ceasefire regime entered into force the entire world once again witnessed manifestations of intolerant and racist attitude of Azerbaijan towards the Armenian people and Armenian religious and historical-cultural heritage."

The FM added: "Numerous videos and photos have been published in the Azerbaijani social media domain on the atrocities against the civilian population of Artsakh, acts of vandalism against the khachkars (cross-stones), religious sites and monuments, and their deliberate destruction."
