Armenians continue looting natural resources, as well as destroying
and claiming cultural and historical monuments in the occupied lands
of Azerbaijan.
The Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the Armenian Academy of
Sciences, in collaboration with the Yerevan Institute of Architecture,
carried out archeological excavations in Kalbahar District this August,
the Armenian “Azg” (Nation) newspaper reports.
Hamlet Petrosian, an employee of the Institute of Archeology and
Ethnography, has said a picture of a military horseman engraved on
a stone dating back to 13th –14th centuries and other items were
discovered during the excavations.
The operations were funded by the “Yerkir” organization and the
Harutyunians, a family of Armenian descent living in New Jersey, US.
Armenia have been trying for many years to claim the historical
Azerbaijani monuments in Upper Garabagh, Azerbaijan’s region currently
under the Armenian occupation, and to prove that Armenians have lived
in the region for centuries.*
