The Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Armenia has applied to the relevant international bodies, demanding to prevent cultural vandalism. This is stated in the Facebook post of the ministry.
"The Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Armenia is in constant contact with UNESCO and other international organizations dealing with the protection of cultural values, to draw their attention to the issue of endangering the Armenian historical and cultural heritage and archeological sites in Artsakh.
In the territories that are to be under the control of Azerbaijan, there are many structures of religious and civilizational importance, monuments, various works of art, ancient sites, the preservation of which is endangered.
Taking into account the facts of deliberate destruction of cultural heritage values by Azerbaijan (there is already evidence of vandalism in the case of the Church of Ghazanchetsots), as well as violations of international law, cases of violation of commitments under the UN and Council of Europe, the Ministry appealed to international organizations to adhere to its mission, take active and decisive steps to prevent and condemn the manifestations of Azerbaijani vandalism", the statement said.
