    ISESCO CONDEMNS ARMENIA FOR DESTRUCTION OF HISTORICAL MONUMENTS IN OCCUPIED TERRITORIES OF AZERBAIJAN

    Azerbaijan, Baku, 2 December / Trend News , corr. N.Abdullayeva /
    ISESCO condemns destruction of historical monuments in the occupied
    territories of Azerbaijan by Armenians.

    "Destruction of monuments in the occupied territories contradicts
    international laws and all principles of the UN, and this is
    unacceptable," Abdel Aziz Ben Osman Al-Twaigry, the director general
    of the Islamic Education, Science and Culture Organization (ISESCO),
    said to journalists in Baku on 2 December.

    ISESCO completely supports Azerbaijan on this issue," Al-Twaigry said.

    The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began
    in 1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since
    1992, Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan including
    the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. In
    1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
    time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk
    Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful
    negotiations.

    Azerbaijan appeared with the initiative before PACE to send the mission
    of the cultural heritage of organization to the occupied territories
    to study the state of remained historical and cultural monuments
    of the country. Azerbaijan already presented the list of monuments,
    which underwent destruction, to the mission.
