"On the territory of Armenia, there is a rich historical, cultural and religious heritage of Azerbaijanis who lived there for centuries,” the ministry said. “In 1869, according to statistics published in the "Caucasian Calendar for 1870" by the Office of the Russian Governorate in the Caucasus, there were 269 mosques in the Irevan province alone.”
“Along with the mosques, this list includes the Khan's palace in Iravan, the walls of the Iravan fortress, as well as numerous baths, caravanserais, tombs, cemeteries that existed on the territory of modern Armenia,” the ministry noted.
“We hope that the upcoming UNESCO mission will be important in terms of detailed study, monitoring, and documentation of the heritage of the Azerbaijani people on the territory of Armenia," added the ministry.
