    ArmInfo. UNESCO management does not sends international experts
    to Nakhchivan on investigation of the facts of destruction of the
    monuments of cultural heritage because of the Azerbaijani party's
    objections, Head of International Relations Department of Armenia's
    Foreign Ministry Dzyunik Aghajanyan told ArmInfo. According to her,
    negotiations on this matter have been holding for several years
    already. 'Armenia has advanced the initiative of creation of UNESCO
    expert delegation long ago, however, Azerbaijan keeps on hindering
    this process', Aghajanyan said.

    She added that negotiations with Azerbaijan resume from time to time
    without any tangible results.

    To recall, UNESCO spokesman Roni Amelan told ArmInfo that UNESCO
    secretary general has been waiting for 2 years already for Armenia
    and Azerbaijan to agree on the route and technical specifications for
    the international expert delegation on investigation of the facts of
    destruction of the monuments of cultural heritage in Nakhchivan.

    'There is no information on this issue. The expert delegation cannot
    be sent unless Armenia and Azerbaijan agree on these issues'.

    Aghajanyan said. Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandyan touched
    on this problem again during the 35th UNESCO conference on October 7.

    He emphasized that Azerbaijan keeps on making efforts on elimination
    of the Armenian cultural heritage traces.
