ALERT: An Armenian cemetery in the village of Mets Tagher/Böyük Tağlar was recently destroyed. The cemetery was founded in the early 19th c. and was in use when Armenians evacuated the village in 2020. Satellite imagery shows its complete destruction. Signs of bulldozer scars.1/3 
In the same village, the Surb Amenaprkitch church, founded 1846, appears to be threatened by construction. As of 4/8, the area just east of the church was bulldozed, and trucks were parked in the clearing. CHW is concerned about this church and calls for its protection. 2/3
