UNESCO Director General Koichiro Matsuura expressed readiness to send
a group of experts to Nakhijevan to study the site of destruction of
ancient Armenian monuments. Last week Chairman of the World Armenian
Congress Ara Abrahamyan, being a UNESCO good will Ambassador during
an official meeting drew Koichiro Matsuura's attention to destruction
of the Armenian cemetery in Old Jugha by Azerbaijanis. In the words
of chair of the European representation of all-Armenian structures,
Armenian FM's Advisor Ashot Grigorian, Abrahamyan censured vandalism
regarding cultural monuments. Vandalism regarding Christian monuments
in Old Jugha entails negative political consequences as well and
more destabilizes the political situation in the South Caucasus,
Abrahamyan remarked. He also invited Koichiro Matsuura to visit Armenia
to get acquainted with treasures of the Armenian culture. The UNESCO
Director-General assured in case of receiving an invitation, he will
plan his visit to Armenia with pleasure.
