    GANIRA PASHAYEVA: "ANCIENT CHRISTIAN MONUMENTS IN AZERBAIJAN ARE ALBANIAN AND IT IS ILLOGICAL TO STATE THAT AZERBAIJANIS DESTROY THEIR OWN HISTORY"

    Raf Ovanesyan, head of the Armenian delegation in PACE, raised the
    issue of the so-called destruction of Armenian memorials in Nakhchivan
    during the discussion of the speech of the new chairman of the CE
    Ministers' Committee at the PACE session.

    The response of the Azerbaijani side was adequate.

    Member of the Azerbaijani delegation in PACE Ganira Pashayeva, who
    spoke after the Armenian MP, accused him of the attempt to mislead
    the European Parliamentarians.

    "As is known from the history, Christianity was a religion of
    Azerbaijan before Islam. Caucasian Albania is one of the first
    Christian states. Ancient Christian memorials are Albanian, but
    not Armenian ones, as the representatives of Armenia state. It is
    illogical to state that Azerbaijanis destroy these memorials, which
    would mean that Azerbaijanis destroy their own history", she said.
