    Baku, July 29, AssA-Irada -- Hundreds of thousands of exhibits from
    26 museums located in the occupied Azerbaijani territories have been
    stolen and destroyed by Armenians. A part of the historic exhibits,
    totaling 103,380, is presented in Armenia and some of them in a number
    of world countries as 'Armenian art', said Faig Ismayilov, chairman
    of the Organization for Protection of Historic and Cultural Monuments
    in Occupied Azerbaijani Territories. "Azeri carpets are currently
    exhibited in Frankfurt, Germany under the 'Armenian carpet-weaving art'
    title", he told an event at the International Press Center.

    Ismayilov said that 6,308 Azerbaijani historic monuments are under
    state protection. 876 of them are located in Garabagh and adjacent
    regions, including 7 sculptural monuments of worldwide importance,
    133 of countrywide and 458 of local importance. 10 of these
    are archaeological and other types of monuments of international
    significance and 268 of nationwide importance. Researchers say that
    there are more monuments in Garabagh. Armenian sources indicate that
    the total number of Islamic monuments in Garabagh and adjacent areas
    is about 100, while that of Armenian monuments - 1,700.*
