Yerevan again emphasized the importance of sending UNESCO Mission to  the Karabakh Conflict zone to protect historical values

ArmInfo.Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of RA Artak Apitonyan held a video conference with the head of the Cabinet of the Director-General of UNESCO Nicolas  Kassianide.  

According to the press service of the Armenian foreign  policy department, the interlocutors touched upon the issue of  protecting the Armenian historical and religious heritage in the zone  of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the importance of sending the  UNESCO mission in this context to the facts.

Apitonyan stressed the urgency of the adoption of steps to protect  the Armenian historical and religious heritage in the territories of  Artsakh, who passed under Azerbaijani control, given the consecutive  steps of Azerbaijan for deliberate destruction, desecration and  distortion of the identity of Armenian monuments. The deputy head of  the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia touched upon the last  manifestations of Azerbaijani aggression against the Armenian  cultural and religious heritage. In particular, it was noted that on  March 25, the BBC news service was spread throughout which clearly  seen that the Armenian Church Zoravar Surb Actvatsatsin near the  settlement of Mechakavan was completely destroyed.

Touching on the preparatory work of the Facts Saving Mission, the  Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed serious concern about  the policies conducted by Azerbaijan on preventing the effective  involvement of UNESCO in this regard.

The unacceptable attempts of Azerbaijan speculation and excessive  politicization of this issue were emphasized. The importance of  sending a mission in the format was re-announced by the Director  General of UNESCO and confirmed in the statement of the  Intergovernmental Committee of the Second Protocol to the 1954 Hague  Convention.  It should be noted that on the eve  the BBC  correspondent  John Fisher, who decided to find out where the  Armenian Church of Zoravar Surb Actvatsatsin disappeared in the  Karabakh village of Mechakavan (Dzhabrail), which after the  completion of the hostilities was safe.

So, in the report, it can be seen that the church did not suffer when  the territory passed under the control of Azerbaijan. However, in  fact, today, where the church was standing, only ruins remained.   Adequate answer to the question where the church is being done, they  did not give in Azerbaijan. The head of theStaff of the  President of  rAzerbaijan Hickmet Hajiyev justified the destruction of the church  by the fact that it is a new one.

Note that on November 20, 2020, UNESCO CEO Azul reported on the  readiness of the organization to send a mission to Karabakh to help  in the restoration of the cultural and historical heritage of the  region.  Last December, Deputy General Director of UNESCO Ernesto  Otton noted that the organization "is still awaiting the answer of  Azerbaijan, so that UNESCO can continue working with the direction of  the mission in the field. "In turn, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry in  the Communic Commanded on December 22, did not polish the issue of  protecting the cultural heritage in Karabakh and stated that Baku" is  ropen to a constructive dialogue for discussing the details of the  Mission Organization ".

The Russian Foreign Ministry has also repeatedly stated that Moscow  is counting on the visit of the UNESCO Mission to Nagorno-Karabakh in  the near future. However, the question is deliberately delayed by the  Azerbaijani side, and in this background, in the territories of  Nagorno-Karabakh, the acts of vandalism were performed in the  territories of Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenian cultural and historical  monuments are destroyed
