Mass burial site in Guba may completely disappear

Ground water is deserting ground creating a landslide threat.

Researcher at the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences Gahraman Agayev says the mass grave is protected by primitive methods.

“The nearby river is also threatening the mass grave. A ravine in the bank of Gudyalchay River is sliding continuously shortening distance between the grave and river. The results of research work conducted in the past three years showed that Gudyalchay River approaches the mass grave 5-6 meters every year. The distance between the mass grave and the river is about 30-40 meters now."

Agayev said if relevant measures were not taken, the Guba mass grave would be disappeared completely.
