The Azerbaijani government has formed a working group of Albanian historians and architects, whose task is to remove false Armenian traces from Albanian architectural monuments. These actions are aimed at the elimination of the Armenian cultural heritage in Artsakh, more than two dozen public organizations said in a statement, received by Armenian News - NEWS.am.
“Azerbaijani authorities have repeatedly proved their consistency in pursuing a policy of ethnic cleansing by destroying traces of Armenians.
"On December 7, 2021, the International Court of Justice demanded that Azerbaijan take the necessary measures to prevent all acts of vandalism committed against the Armenian cultural heritage and punish those responsible.
"Azerbaijan violates this requirement with its current actions.
"Unfortunately, the Armenian authorities do not give an adequate response to the policy of ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide committed by Aliyev.
"We DEMAND from the Prime Minister and the Government of Armenia:
– notify the International Court of Justice of the non-compliance/violation by the Azerbaijani authorities of the interim measures applied to him in order to prevent the irreversible loss of the Armenian cultural heritage;
– apply to the UN to organize a visit to Artsakh and document the current state of the Armenian monuments," the statement added.
