PRESS RELEASE
Vladimir Karapetian, Spokesperson of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responds
to a question by "Armenpress" News Agency on the cancellation of the visit
of the PACE subcommittee on cultural issues to the region
Question: How do you interpret the failure of the visit by the delegation of
the PACE subcommittee on cultural issues to the region?
Answer: Armenia places great significance on the visit of the cultural
monuments assessment mission to the region, and particularly to Nakhijevan.
We had ourselves initiated the idea of visits to the region by PACE, the
European Parliament as well as UNESCO, for the purpose of assessing the
condition of cultural monuments.
I think it is important to note that Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh had given
the O'Hara delegation their agreement regarding the mission.
We are informed that this PACE delegation had decided to visit the region at
the beginning of September, after several postponements. I regret that the
visit has now apparently been cancelled as a result of the non-constructive
stance of the Azerbaijani side, due solely to their intent to veil the
demolition of Armenian monuments in Nakhijevan.
