Since no results have been achieved on the way to the settlement of the
conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, UNESCO cannot make any efforts for the
preservation of historical monuments in Nagorno-Karabakh. According to
the APA news agency, the director general of UNESCO Koishiro Matsuura
stated this in Baku, Regnum reports.

He underlined that the Nagorno-Karabakh issue is a political issue,
and UNESCO is not a political organization, therefore they cannot deal
with those issues in the current stage, but UNESCO as an international
organization carefully follows the process. Matsuura informed that
UNESCO is planning to send a special mission to the region of the
conflict but the exact date of the visit is not known. "It is going
to be difficult to carry out this mission," said the director general
of UNESCO, Regnum reports.
