    Ministry of Culture: UNESCO censured Armenian khachkars under
    constraint of Azerbaijan and Turkey


    Armenian Minister of Culture released a statement to make remarks on
    UNESCO censoring the origin of Armenian Khachkars.

    UNESCO Paris headquarters hosted on June 15 the official opening
    ceremony of `Art of Khachkars' photo exhibition. The initiative group
    is Armenian permanent representation office in UNESCO and Armenian
    Ministry of Culture in cooperation with UNESCO.

    Culture Ministry press service informs UNESCO also hosts committee
    sessions on different Conventions, which serves as a chance to perform
    the masterpieces of Armenian culture - khachkars to the
    representatives of more than 100 countries.

    Special booklets, recordings have been made beforehand and sent to
    Paris to share among the visitors. Artist-sculptor Robert Minasyan
    departed for Paris to represent the history of khachkars.

    Though UNESCO has been beforehand introduced to the materials of the
    exhibition, Azerbaijan and Turkey used all the available means to
    convince UNESCO to remove from the exhibition those displays which are
    located out of Armenia.
