Interpretive scope: heritage context, condition, continuity

Separation rule RAA, VirtualANI, Monument Watch, and online heritage records are not automatically genocide-event records. A monastery, church, ruin, museum, cemetery, or fortress belongs here unless a separate source explicitly links it to a 1915-1923 event, confiscation, deportation, massacre, or destruction process.

Artsakh heritage coverage AUA Artsakh Heritage AUA Artsakh Heritage is used as a major reference catalogue for Artsakh monuments, bibliography, museums, galleries, and map context. Object records are presented with source attribution and cartographic separation from genocide-event layers. Artsakh Cultural Heritage Artsakh Cultural Heritage is treated as a reference corpus for monument names, location context, and source comparison.
