According to APA, UNESCO Director General Koishiro Matsuura said on a
press conference in Baku that the protection of historical monuments
in Karabakh is a very important cultural issue.

Matsuura stressed that UNESCO will be unable to provide necessary
protection for the monuments until the Karabakh conflict is
settled. He said that UNESCO is a non-governmental and a non-political
organization, and cannot interfere at this moment. However, UNESCO,
as an international structure, keeps an attentive eye at Karabakh.
