    Armenian MP denies report on hearings into destruction of Azeri cultural sites

    Yerevan, 6 December: A representative of the Armenian delegation to
    the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe [PACE], Shavarsh
    Kocharyan, has denied Azerbaijani media reports suggesting that the
    issue of the "destruction of Azerbaijani cultural monuments" was
    discussed during a joint meeting of the PACE committees on culture,
    science and education in Paris on 3 December.

    Shavarsh Kocharyan has told Arminfo that meetings of the subcommittee
    on issues of cultural heritage, the committee on issues of science
    and education, as well as hearings on the issue of "Religion, culture
    and education" were held in Paris on 3 December. He said no issues
    concerning Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagornyy Karabakh had been discussed
    during these meetings.

    Let's recall that earlier the Baku media carried reports suggesting
    that during a joint meeting of the PACE committees on culture,
    science and education Azerbaijani MP Rafael Huseynov had allegedly
    drawn the attention of European MPs to "the Nagornyy Karabakh problem,
    the occupation of Azerbaijani lands and the ensuing destruction and
    desecration of cultural monuments and graves". Huseynov also said he
    had allegedly urged "the Council of Europe to take measures against
    the most brutal form of Armenian aggression - destruction of the
    cultural heritage".
