Ghazanchetsots Sourb Amenaprkich (19th century) Church; the last of the four statues of trumpet-playing angels once adorning the four corners of the roof of the first floor of the church belfry. The statue was preserved in situ until 1989. During the occupation of Shushi (liberated on 9 May 1992), the Azerbaijanians broke it to pieces by pulling it down with metallic ropes
