/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The PACE (Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
Europe) mission on cultural monuments will visit the Southern Caucasus
in May of 2007, said Edward O’Hara, reporter on cultural heritage
of PACE Commission for science, education and culture. He said the
visit of mission scheduled for autumn of last year did not took place
because of weather conditions, and they decided to fulfil that visit
till summer. E. O’Hara underlined the members of mission have not
coordinated a lot of issues yet. "The mission under my supervision
is not dealing with policy but historical-cultural monuments and
their states. I never make political statements. Just the opposite,
I am trying to separate policy from culture," he stressed, APA reports.

The PACE mission is going to examine the Armenian cemetery in Old
Djugha in Nakhichevan, barbarously destroyed by Azeris, as well as
other monuments on territories of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
