/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Protection of cultural monuments in Nagorno Karabakh
is an important issue, UNESCO Director-General said.
"Nagorno Karabakh is a political problem. No breakthrough has been
achieved for its solution so far and UNESCO can’t take action for
protection of historical monuments there," Koïchiro Matsuura said.
"UNESCO is not a political organization. We closely watch the
developments but we can’t interfere at the current stage of affairs."
Mr Matsuura informed that UNESCO is planning to dispatch a fact-finding
mission to the region but the terms have not been fixed yet. "It will
not be an easy mission," he said, the Azeri Press Agency reports.
