Armenia focused on preservation of NK cultural heritage, says Deputy FM

YEREVAN, JANUARY 29, ARMENPRESS. The preservation of Nagorno-Karabakh’s Armenian cultural heritage is always on the Foreign Ministry’s agenda, Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Vahan Kostanyan has said.

“The preservation of the cultural heritage in Nagorno-Karabakh is on our agenda. This issue is raised both at the UNESCO executive body and in other relevant organizations. If you recall, in December 2020 the UNESCO executive council made a decision on sending a fact-finding mission to Nagorno-Karabakh to observe the situation on the ground regarding the state of cultural heritage monuments,” Kostanyan said, adding that the foreign ministry has been continuously working in order for that mission’s visit to eventually take place.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
