    The destruction and seizure of over 100,000 pieces of cultural
    heritage of national and international importance on the occupied
    Azerbaijani territories, including some 500 historical and more than
    100 archaeological monuments, are reflected in the report "On the
    destruction and seizure of cultural monuments on the Armenian-occupied
    Azerbaijani territories" submitted to the Parliamentary Assembly of
    the Council of Europe [PACE] committee on science, education and
    culture by a member of the Azerbaijani delegation, Rafael Huseynov.

    The report also says Armenia has fully or partly destroyed 22 museums,
    looted over 1,000 schools, 927 libraries and five music school on
    Azerbaijani territory, a source at the international relations
    department of the Milli Maclis [parliament] has told Bilik
    Dunyasi. Azerbaijan has been trying to table this issue at a PACE
    session for two years.

    The Azerbaijani delegation has submitted two other documents to the
    PACE secretariat, revealing more facts of the destruction of
    Azerbaijan's cultural heritage on the occupied territories - "On the
    urgent prevention of the destruction of cultural monuments in the
    Azerbaijani town of Susa [Shusha]" and "On the desecration of ancient
    cemeteries and historical monuments on the occupied Azerbaijani
    territories".
