Azerbaijani Historians Call Groundless Statements by Armenians
Concerning Monuments in Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Republic

Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan / Trend coprr. E.Mammadov / There is no
monument belonging to Armenians in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic
(NAR) of Azerbaijan, Hajifahraddin Safarli, the director of the
Nakhchivan Department of History, Ethnography and Archeology
Institute and National Academy of Science of Azerbaijan (NASA), said
to the reporter of the Trend News Agency.

Safarli called groundless the statements by Armenians about destroy
of the Armenians cemetery in Gulustan village in NAR. `There has
never been monument belonging to Armenians in the territory of
Nakhchivan,’ Safarli said.

Vardan Oskanian, the Armenian Foreign Minister, proposed to send a
UNESCO’s mission to NAR during the UNESCO General Assembly in France
in order to hold examination concerned with destroy of Armenian
monuments in the territory. After the Assembly, Oskanian said UNESCO
General Secretary gave his consent.

`International organizations are well informed about that
Nagorno-Karabakh is the Azerbaijani territory. We should submit our
proposals on the issues to the organization and make everything to
get information about the destroyed monuments of Azerbaijan in
Nagorno-Karabakh,’ Safarli said.

`Armenians call the monuments lately erected by Azerbaijanis in NAR
their own. Now Armenians state that the Huseyn Javid’s Mausoleum
which was opened in NAR on October 29, 1996 belongs to Armenian
people. Moreover, Armenians contend that the gates in the park after
the name of Heydar Aliyev also belong to them. How the Haseyn Javid’s
Mausoleum erected in 1996 may belong to Armenian people? We should
inform the world community about such groundless statements by
Armenians,’ Safarli said.

There are no monuments belonging to Armenians among the 1,300
monuments erected in the territory of NAR.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
