    VISIT OF PACE SPEAKER ON MONITORING OF CULTURAL SITES TO ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN TO BE POSTPONED

    Regnum, Russia
    May 24 2006

    Visit of PACE speaker on monitoring of cultural sites, British MP
    Edward O'Hara to Azerbaijan and Armenia, planned for May 28, has
    been postponed.

    The PACE planned to send the mission, headed by O'Hara, on May 28
    -June 4 into the region. The mission is to familiarize itself with
    the state of Armenian historical sites in Nakhichevan and prepare a
    detailed report on it.

    It is worth reminding that reports on destroying of Armenian monuments
    in Old Julfa (Nakhichevan) by Azerbaijani soldiers were received by
    the Armenian Embassy to Iran. On February 16, the European Parliament
    adopted resolution, condemning Azerbaijan's actions, aimed at
    destroying of khachkars at Old Julfa Armenian cemetery. Supporters of
    the document pointed out inadmissibility of destroying cultural sites,
    which have equal importance to all mankind, by Azerbaijan. It was
    stressed that detailed requests should be formulated for Azerbaijan,
    which committed the crime and which joined EU New Neighborhood
    Program. Mentioning statements that destroying of khachkars was caused
    by the Karabakh conflict, the European MPs stressed that Nakhichevan
    is far from the conflict zone.
