  Armenian khachkar destroyed in Arizona April 30, 2016 - 17:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A khachkar installed at the St. Apkar Armenian church in Scottsdale, Arizona was destroyed by vandals, 12 News reports. Someone broke it into pieces and church officials told 12 News that they feel the vandals targeted them. Artin Kandjian, the architect of the church, said, "It feels deliberate because it's a terrible coincidence that this happened during the week of April 24, which is a traditional commemoration of the Armenian Genocide, which took place in 1915."
