"Recently, the renowned French-Armenian scholar Haroutioun Khatchadourian donated to the National Library of Armenia the English edition of his book ‘Monuments and Identities in the Caucasus: Karabakh, Nakhichevan, and Azerbaijan in Contemporary Geopolitical Conflict’ (Brill, 2023). This academic publication, printed by Brill, founded in 1683 in Leiden (the Netherlands), features 17 notable contributions by distinguished scholars from eight nations, accompanied by rare photographs and detailed documentation of all the monuments discussed."**

"The focus of the scholars is on the difficult-to-access mountainous region between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the artistic heritage created by generations. Many ancient and medieval monuments in Artsakh and Nakhichevan, which have not yet been destroyed, are today under serious threat due to a policy of cultural destruction enforced by the contemporary Azerbaijani state. The book will soon be available for reading in the reading halls of the National Library of Armenia."
