Remains of medieval Armenian fortress of Gag (Armenian: Գագ) or Gagaberd (Armenian: Գագաբերդ) at the top of Surb Sargis mountain. Now turned in military position of Azerbaijani army. Adopting a long-standing Turkish traditions with respect to the Armenian historical monuments, Azerbaijanis undoubtedly turned Surb Sargis church in ammunition depot. The difference between Turkish and Azerbaijani tactics is as follows: the Turks, before blowing up Armenian churches, first declare them to be "Byzantine" or "Georgian". Before the destruction, Azerbaijanis first call the monument "Albanian". When, under the pressure of the facts, the ridiculousness of their arguments becomes apparent, both resort to "worse scenario".Turns out, for greater safety of the monuments, needs to indulge their lies and tricks.
