Unfortunately, these are being destroyed rapidly. Picture 2 is the historical district of Hadrut, which has already been destroyed by Azeri arson years ago when they captured the city. The old village in picture 4, Tumi, was heavily damaged after the war. The buildings in picture 6, and the entire village where they are (Karin Tak), was completely wiped off the face of the earth in 2023. The village in picture 7 was also very damaged by construction of a new road by the Azeris, most of the historic center (Including in all likelihood the pictured buildings) were bulldozed.
I know Azeris like to point out Aghdam, Fizuli etc, but from an architectural standpoint it is a bit of a false equivalence. As most Azeris were nomadic, they did not leave behind much architectural heritage (Except for those places directly under the influence of the Persianite Khans, such as Shushi). So its a bit strange compare shitty Soviet architecture that made up virtually the entirety of those cities, to these centuries-old buildings that are rapidly disappearing.
