Pomblozi Zham (Armenian: Պոմպլոզի ժամ, meaning: Pomploz church, original name consigned to oblivion) - a domed Armenian Apostolic Church (errected in the 16th century) once standing at the south-facing foot of a mountain, almost in the heart of Jugha City Site. The Azeris leveled it to ground in late 1990s or in the early 2000s: this is proved by a Google Earth photo of 2003 which shows the site without any vestiges of a monument. The remains of Pomblozi Zham was reduced to a "quarry" in 2016. Azerbaijan’s Destruction of Armenian heritage sites Exceeds ISIS Crimes.
