TREND Information, Azerbaijan

The mission headed by the English deputy of the EU Parliament Assembly,
the reader of supplementary report on the South Caucasus countries
O’Hara to come to the region on May 28, the Azerbaijan delegation
member Rafael Husseynov exclusively told IAA “Trend”.

He pointed out that the goal O’Hara’s visit is to carry out
investigations connected with the cultural heritage of Azerbaijan,
Georgia and Armenia. According to him at first Mr. O`Hara will come
to Azerbaijan, then visit the Nakhchivan Region, and then leave
for Georgia. “Here he is to carry out investigations connected with
Azerbaijani and Armenian cultural heritage, and at last set off for
Erevan”, pointed out Mr. R. Husseynov.

He also added that the program of O`Hara`s visit includes the visiting
of Shusha. “The Azerbaijan Delegation introduced the list of types
of Azerbaijani heritage located on the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh,
districts occupied by Armenians as well as in Armenia itself. We also
made some changes in the text of the visit’s program. For instance,
the document mentioned as if Armenian cemeteries are being destroyed
in Nakhchivan. We told O’Hara that is Armenians` fantasy. There are
still Albanian graves in Nakhchivan.

Before Islam, the most of Azerbaijanis were Christians. That is why
Armenians do their best to take for its own all Christian monuments
on the territory of Azerbaijan. It is inadmissible and wrong to
indicate that these monuments are Armenian without a on-the spot
check. On the base of our arguments this point was excluded from the
document. It is said that he is just to visit Nakhchivan”, pointed
out Mr. R. Husseynov.
