"The Surb Amenaprkich kazanchetsots Church, considered a symbol of Shusha, was partially destroyed," the Karabakh information center reports.
The architectural complex of the Church and bell tower was built in 1868-1887.
During the first Karabakh war in the 1990s, an Azerbaijani Grad missile depot was located on the territory of the Church. The city was taken by Armenian troops by storm on may 8-9, 1992. The operation was called "wedding in the mountains".
