Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev highlighted in his New Year’s speech that UNESCO falsely accuses Baku in relation to Armenian antiquities from the Karabakh region.
He said: “We have presented to the international community the reality of the war, the destroyed cities and towns, while we did not have the opportunity to travel to these towns and cities. Not a single international organization has visited, and here is UNESCO, which today he is trying to present his demands. “
He added: “You say that we will not be able to protect Armenian religious monuments here, although this is a lie. Azerbaijan is protected for all religions.”
He continued: “Have you visited these lands at least once? Have you ever been to the Shusha Mosque? Have you visited the destroyed mosque in Zhangilan? Have you been to the Agdam Mosque? Armenians used to look after pigs and cows. They are now presenting their claim to us. “
“The organization awaits a response from Azerbaijan regarding the possibility of sending a mission of experts from the organization to Karabakh,” said UNESCO Director General for Culture Ernesto Otun, noting that “Azerbaijani authorities have been repeatedly contacted on this issue, but to no avail. “
