Zatulin: Azerbaijan  trying to rewrite Armenia`s history 

ArmInfo. Azerbaijan is trying to retrospectively rewrite the history of Armenia and the  culture of Nagorno-Karabakh, as stated by Konstantin Zatulin, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, during a round table in Moscow organized by the Lazarevsky Club.

Zatulin noted that Baku wants to appropriate famous historical  monuments: Amaras, Gandzasar and others.  "These and other historical  and cultural monuments in Nagorno-Karabakh date back to a time when  Azerbaijanis were not present in this territory and did not exist as  a nation at all," he said.  The Russian parliamentarian also brought  up the trial of former leaders of Nagorno-Karabakh. "This 'trial also  fits into the general logic of falsifying history and appropriating  Armenian heritage. Its occurrence is a showy celebration of the  Azerbaijani authorities' triumph over the Armenians," Zatulin stated.
