STEPANAKERT, 01.12.08. DE FACTO. The Cabinet of Ministers of
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic has allocated 10 million AMD to ensure the
Shoushi upper mosque, which had suffered during hostilities, with
temporary roofing and prevent from the monument’s further destruction.

Like other historical monuments situated in the Republic, this mosque
is also under protection and defense of the state irrespective of
the fact what nation’s cultural heritage a monument belongs to,
Azat Artsakh reports quoting the Tourism Department under the NKR
government. Allocating means for the preservation of the Persian
mosque can just be welcomed in this context.

It is not the first time that measures targeted at the preservation of
cultural heritage of other nations are being implemented in the NKR,
while our neighbors, Turkey and Azerbaijan, consequently and openly
destroy Armenian culture’s monuments.
