The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs proved to be too late with their
statement on preservation of historical and cultural heritage, the
political scientist Alexander Manasyan told Tert.am.

He appreciates the co-chairs’ approach as the cultural aspect is one
of the aspects of the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.

“Other mechanisms, such as the economic and cultural ties, can be
applied in the peace process. Mutual understanding is impossible to
establish without them,” the expert said.

“The co-chairs made the right step by placing emphasis on the
preservation of monuments. However, they are too late because numerous
monuments have been destroyed,” Manasayn said.
