Strasbourg. Fuad Gulubeyli-APA. British parliamentarian Edward O’Hara,
Rapporteur of PACE Committee on Culture, Education and Science on the
cultural heritage of the South Caucasus gave up his scheduled visit
to Azerbaijan and Armenia aiming to learn conditions of material and
cultural monuments in the region, the Committee sources told APA.

PACE Committee on Culture, Education and Science made this decision
on June 25. Chairperson of the Committee and Luxemburg parliamentarian
Anne Brasseur sent a special letter to PACE President and requested him
to keep this issue on agenda during his visit to Baku next week. It
was said in the letter that if they received an invitation in future
there would be no problem for its realization. The visit of Edward
O’Hara’s mission to the region is postponed for the different reasons
for three years. The British parliamentarian relates the postponing
of his visit with the political problems.
