I have once again alerted my international colleagues about the urgent need for the regulation of property rights of Artsakh Armenians and the safeguarding of cultural heritage in Artsakh.
After the illegal occupation of the Republic of Artsakh by Azerbaijan, the Armenians of Artsakh are deprived not only of the right to live freely and safely in their historical Homeland, but also to manage their immovable and movable property, to preserve their spiritual, historical and cultural heritage.
I have urged my international colleagues to undertake effective measures within the framework of their mandate:
to ensure the realization of the Right to Property of Artsakh Armenians,

to give the latter the opportunity to freely manage their property (immovable, movable, animals),
in case of illegal disposal of the property belonging to the people of Artsakh by Azerbaijan, to demand compensation,
to contribute to the preservation of cultural and religious heritage in Artsakh, where there are more than 10 thousand monuments. As the Russian peacekeepers currently in Artsakh, the international observers of the United Nations (I have sent letters to my international colleagues about the need for their deployment in Artsakh, and a number of international actors often speak about its importance) must prevent the repetition of the criminal scenario of the desecration and destruction of the Holy All Savior Ghazanchetsots Church in Shushi and other Armenian religious structures.
Both recently and in the past, I have repeatedly raised these issues with my international colleagues in different formats. I hope that they will get their proper solution, towards which my daily efforts will continue.
