E. Mammadyarov said UNESCO’s Committee for Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict has adopted a decision on the protection of cultural property occupied territories.
“Unfortunately, during these years Armenia fulfilled neither the UN Security Council’s resolutions nor the requirements of this decision adopted by UNESCO. Armenia has deliberately destroyed all cultural monuments of ours in occupied Karabakh and other surrounding districts and even plundered our museums,” said E. Mammadyarov.
The minister noted that there can’t be anything more tragic than the destruction of any cultural and religious monuments or cultural values in general built thousands of years ago and the killing of innocent people.
“We have to continue our efforts with high determination in protecting our common cultural heritage, expanding cooperation opportunities for its recognition by the world, and establishing sound cultural heritage for future generations through TURKSOY and UNESCO,” he stressed.
