communities are functioning freely. National minorities preserve
historical, national cultural examples. Ambassadors of foreign
countries to Azerbaijan also witness this. National minorities have
cultural centers in Azerbaijan. Even an Armenian church is preserved
in Baku. Armenians themselves saw it. They saw that the church is
preserved as a library. One of the Armenians said some of the books in
