UNESCO observers may visit Old Jugha (Nakhijevan) in the near future
to investigate the fact of destruction of Armenian monuments. RA
Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian discussed the issue in Paris during
the 34th session of the UNESCO Conference. The Minister confirmed that
the visit will take place if Azerbaijan does not create new obstacles.
"The delegation cannot enter Nakhijevan without Azerbaijan's
agreement. Armenia cannot do more than demand the delegation to arrive
as a member country of the Council of Europe. "Azerbaijan tries
to prevent these visits," Vartan Oskanian told a press conference
today. He assured there are no obstacles from the Armenian side
and to satisfy both parties UNESCO has asked for permission to
monitor the monuments on the territory of Armenia and visit Nagorno
Karabakh. Armenia has given a positive answer and has urged the
delegation to arrive.
Let us remind that on August 29 Azerbaijan prevented the visit of the
PACE delegation headed by British MP Edward O'Hara to Nakhijevan, where
they destroyed the Armenian cemetery in 2006 and built a firing range.
