AZERBAIJAN DOES NOT ACCEPT THEIR "GUILT"
Support A1+!Official Azerbaijan has expressed its discontent with the resolution adopted by the European parliament last week.
The European parliament had overwhelmingly adopted a resolution condemning the Azerbaijani governmen\'s destruction of the Armenian cemetery in Djulfa. The khachqars of the Armenian cemetery are located in the Nakhichevan autonomous republic and are according to the European Parliament a unique archaeological treasure.
«The Republic of Azerbaijan which is distinguished with its ethnic diversity has protected 3.5 million historical monuments. Azerbaijan has always constructively and transparently cooperated with the international organizations in this field and had many positive results», the announcement by the Azeri Foreign Ministry says. According to the Azeri Mass Media, «the Azeri side was taken by surprise by the European Parliament resolution ».
«This decision must be evaluated as biased and inappropriate as in the Azeri occupied territories the monuments of Azeri culture are still being destroyed. While the international community recognizes the destruction of the cultural and historical values in the Azeri occupied territories, the resolution by the European Parliament cannot but cause surprise», the announcement by the Azeri Foreign Ministry mentions.
