Baku/12.01.21/Turan: The delegation of ISESCO (Islamic Organization for Science, Education and Culture), which visited the liberated territories of Azerbaijan today, recorded facts of vandalism against historical and religious monuments during the Armenian occupation.
ISESCO Director General Salim bin Mohammed al-Malik stated that the members of the mission were shocked by what they saw.
"All villages, settlements, historical and religious monuments have been destroyed. Destruction, desecration of mosques and religious temples, vandalism against them are unacceptable. Religious shrines must be treated with respect, they must be protected," al-Malik said.
He expressed confidence that all destroyed monuments will be restored. The religious beliefs of people should not be discriminated against, and the temples of each religion should be respected at the state, regional and global levels.
Any war leads to destruction, including the destruction of various objects. “However, the destruction of religious and cultural sites, samples of cultural heritage is unacceptable,” said the Secretary General of ISESCO.
Azerbaijan should send inquiries to ISESCO, after which a committee of independent experts will assess the damage. Taking into account the inclusion of monuments of the cultural heritage of Azerbaijan in the List of World Islamic Heritage, ISESCO will also take these objects and monuments under protection, al-Malik said. -06D-
