Azerbaijan refused to admit the European Parliament delegation, which
was planning to hold monitoring at the site of the Armenain cemetery
in Old Jugha, MEDIAMAX agency reports, referring to well-informed
diplomatic circles.
The Armenian side agreed to provide the opportunity to the delegation
of the European Parliament to hold monitoring of the historical
monuments on Nagorno-Karabakh territory.
The delegation was to arrive in the region early September.
To remind, in Article 67 of the European Neighborhood Policy resolution
adopted January 19, the European Parliament called on Azerbaijani
authorities to " stop the destruction of medieval Armenian cemeteries
and historical khachkars in the Southern part of Nakhijevan." It is
noted in the resolution that the demolition of Armenian monuments
is the violation of the UNESCO convention on World Heritage, which
Azerbaijan ratified in 1993.
