Turan Information Agency, Azerbaijani Opposition July 24, 2017 Monday Azerbaijan condemns trip of Armenian Foreign Minister to Kalbajar Baku/24.07.17/Turan: The trip of the Armenian Foreign Minister to the occupied region of Azerbaijan Kelbajar and participation in the religious event "Gandzasar777" is another confirmation of historical and religious falsification at the state level by Armenia. "We would like to remind the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia that this Albanian-Christian church located on the territory of the Kelbajar region of Azerbaijan occupied by the Armed Forces of Armenia is called not Gandzasar, but Gyankyasar, it has nothing to do with the Armenian Gregorian church. This is proved by serious facts by Azerbaijani and international historians by specialists, "the head of the press service of the Foreign Ministry Hikmet Hajiyev said. According to him, the architectural planning and compositional solution of the temple complex, sculptural samples confirmed that this monument belongs to the Caucasian Albania, which has centuries-old traditions. The head of the press service said that after the occupation of Azerbaijan by Azerbaijan, in 1836, according to a special decision of the "Russian Holy Synod", the Albanian church and all its property was transferred to the disposal of the Armenian Gregorian church. "Since then, the Armenian Gregorian church has pursued a policy of armenization of the Albanian Christian heritage, including the Gyankasar Monument and Albanian written sources." According to Hikmet Hajiyev, all this is the policy of armenization in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan of the historical heritage of the Azerbaijani people, Islamic and Christian churches and others is a gross violation of international humanitarian law, in particular, the Geneva Convention. The participation of the Armenian Foreign Minister in this event once again shows that Armenia is not interested in settling the conflict through peaceful negotiations. Armenia implements a policy of annexation of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas, the head of the press service said. -03D04-
