“Azerbaijan continues its criminal policy of Albanisation of the Armenian religious and cultural heritage of Artsakh by falsifying its history, distorting and desecrating its sites. This vandalistic behavior is unacceptable. We are once again calling upon UNESCO to immediately take action,” Ombudsman Gegham Stepanyan said in a Twitter post.
“The cultural and religious heritage of Artsakh under occupation of Azerbaijan is at constant risk of destruction and erasure. It is also the international community’s responsibility to protect it”, he added.
