UNESCO to send fact-finding mission to Karabakh

Aysor, Armenia
Jan 25 2021  

Armenia’s foreign minister Ara Aivazian had a phone conversation today with UNESCO director-general Audrey Azoulay.

MFA press service reports that the issues on preservation of Armenian religious, cultural-historic heritage in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone and perspectives of cooperation with UNESCO in the mentioned direction were touched upon.

Ayvazian stated that he expects UNESCO’s active engagement in the process of protection of the Armenian heritage in the territories that passed under Azerbaijan’s control which he stressed is especially important in the conditions of the attempts of intentional annihilation of historic monuments and distortion of their identity.

Armenia’s minister also hailed UNESCO decision to send fact-finding mission to Karabakh.

  

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
