The occupants destroyed numerous monuments of history, culture and architecture. The Armenians destroyed the unique museum of bread - the only one in the former USSR and the second in the world. In the battles with the enemy since the beginning of the Karabakh conflict and before the occupation, 6 thousand inhabitants of Agdam were killed.
