    Azerbaijani Historians Call Groundless Statements by Armenians
    Concerning Monuments in Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Republic

    Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan / Trend coprr. E.Mammadov / There is no
    monument belonging to Armenians in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic
    (NAR) of Azerbaijan, Hajifahraddin Safarli, the director of the
    Nakhchivan Department of History, Ethnography and Archeology
    Institute and National Academy of Science of Azerbaijan (NASA), said
    to the reporter of the Trend News Agency.

    Safarli called groundless the statements by Armenians about destroy
    of the Armenians cemetery in Gulustan village in NAR. `There has
    never been monument belonging to Armenians in the territory of
    Nakhchivan,' Safarli said.

    Vardan Oskanian, the Armenian Foreign Minister, proposed to send a
    UNESCO's mission to NAR during the UNESCO General Assembly in France
    in order to hold examination concerned with destroy of Armenian
    monuments in the territory. After the Assembly, Oskanian said UNESCO
    General Secretary gave his consent.

    `International organizations are well informed about that
    Nagorno-Karabakh is the Azerbaijani territory. We should submit our
    proposals on the issues to the organization and make everything to
    get information about the destroyed monuments of Azerbaijan in
    Nagorno-Karabakh,' Safarli said.

    `Armenians call the monuments lately erected by Azerbaijanis in NAR
    their own. Now Armenians state that the Huseyn Javid's Mausoleum
    which was opened in NAR on October 29, 1996 belongs to Armenian
    people. Moreover, Armenians contend that the gates in the park after
    the name of Heydar Aliyev also belong to them. How the Haseyn Javid's
    Mausoleum erected in 1996 may belong to Armenian people? We should
    inform the world community about such groundless statements by
    Armenians,' Safarli said.


    There are no monuments belonging to Armenians among the 1,300
    monuments erected in the territory of NAR.
