Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan, Head of Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration Hikmet Hajiyev commented on the reports spread on the media about the destruction of the Armenian church in the liberated Jabrayil district in his tweet, AzVision.az reports.


"In 2017, as MFA Spokesperson I made a statement on illegal construction of a military chapel in occupied Jabrayil where never Armenians lived. I said: Building chapel while vandalizing everything related with Azerbaijan is contrary to basic principles of Christianity", the tweet reads.

Hajiyev also highlighted the visit of OSCE MG Co-Chairs to an illegal chapel built in Jabrayil district adding that they concluded that this is a chapel built-in military compound for the service of soldiers.

"Any attempts to change religious and cultural nature of seized lands is considered illegal", he added.
