    "ECHO": ARMENIA INVOLVES UNESCO WITH SCANDAL

    How will Paris respond to Yerevan's demands?

    Unique experience of cultural development of Azerbaijan as crossroad
    of cultures and civilizations gains world's recognition. Festival on
    "Azerbaijan: crossroad of civilizations and cultures" was held in
    Paris. And as UNESCO chief, Koitoro Mazura, declared during the event,
    UNESCO highly values contribution of Azerbaijan in preservation of
    world cultural heritage.

    "Trend" informs referring to ITAR-TASS, head of international
    organization stressed reforms carried out in the country in the field
    of education, work on restoration of Great Silk Way, creation of World
    Mugam Center. "I'm totally satisfied with the way of development of
    our relationship", Koitoro Mazura said. - It is a good example of
    cooperation. He emphasized that he intends to visit Baku again.

    Azerbaijani projects concerning humanitarian field was presented
    by UNESCO Good Will Ambassador, Mekhriban Aliyeva. She told about
    program on defense of children, support of refugees, instilling of
    tolerance in society. "Our country shares unique values, - first lady
    of Azerbaijan underlined. - We know where we are going".

    Within the frames of festival gala concert, photo exhibition, many
    other events were held. However, against the background of this event
    Armenia attempted to involve UNESCO with "cemetery scandal", which
    Yerevan strongly supports. Accordingly to "Azg" newspaper, delegation
    of parliament members of different countries, formed on initiative
    of Ambassador of Armenia to UNESCO, Charles Aznavour, met with Mr.

    Koitoro Mazura and transmitted request to carry out international
    investigations in "Old Juga", that is, Julfa, where allegedly Armenian
    historical cultural monuments were destroyed. We don't know the
    attitude of UNESCO to such request, however, following mass media,
    Azerbaijan is preparing well-grounded respond accordingly to which
    there was no "khachkar" on Azerbaijani territories.

    But Armenia continues to make efforts concerning its initiative with
    further plans.

    Members of "Aznavour's initiative group" handed to Mr. Mazura signed
    memorandum with recommendations for Azerbaijan. Particularly,
    authors of document demand...to build ...Christian monument on
    the place of "Armenian cemetery". Now it reminds imitation of
    "international concern", but in Paris everything ran seriously. And
    to all appearances Yerevan is convinced that if Lower chamber of
    French parliament adopted scandal law "on genocide of Armenians",
    then international organizations headquarters of which are situated
    in Paris are obliged to do likewise.
