Baku/23.11.20/Turan: First Deputy Minister of culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, acting minister Anar Karimov appealed to UNESCO and ISESCO director general.
The appeal brought to the attention that preliminary monitoring was carried out on the determination of the damage caused to the cultural heritage in the territories of Azerbaijan, which is under the occupation of about 30 years of the Armenian Armed Forces and recently liberated from the occupation. The results of preliminary monitoring on the damage caused to historical, cultural and religious monuments of Azerbaijan in the lands occupied by Armenia are noted.
It is noted that the historical and cultural heritage is a gross violation of the requirements of the relevant international conventions and a crime against humanity.
It is noted in the appeal that the development of historically existing multicultural and tolerant society in Azerbaijan is one of the main directions of state policy today. Today, representatives of different peoples and religions live peacefully in our country and contribute to the overall progress of Azerbaijan. Along with numerous Muslim communities, Christian and Jewish religious communities are an active part of our society, and monuments and places of worship belonging to these religions are protected, repaired and restored by the Azerbaijani state regardless of their origin.
At the end, it was noted that the results of ongoing monitoring in the liberated territories will be regularly presented to the heads of both organizations.--0--
