The representatives of the parliaments from various countries
have met with the Koichiro Matsuura, UNESCO Secretary General, and
appealed to him with official request to carry our international
investigation in Old Jugha, Nakhijevan, where historical monuments
of Armenian cultures were destroyed. They called for condemning
the destruction of old Armenian cemetery in Nakhijevan by the army
of Azerbaijan. The delegation was formed at the initiative of the
Armenian-Swiss parliamentary group thanks to the mediation of Charles
Aznavour, ambassador of Armenia to UNESCO. The parliamentarians have
submitted relevant documents that include proofs of the guilt of
the Azeri authorities in the crime to the UN Council for Education,
Science and Culture. The delegation has also signed a memorandum in
which they demand to build a Christian monument on the place of the
destroyed Armenian cemetery.
