Archaeological finds dating back to 6th century B.C., which were
discovered in Artsakh, seem to be baiting Azerbaijan.
In January, a burial place of two women, along with their golden
and bronze decorations estimated at approx. USD 21,5 million, was
discovered in Artsakh's Kashatagh region.
Right after the report, passions flared up in Azerbaijan. Baku,
having decided the treasures belong to Azeri side, made up its mind
to stop at nothing to take away the artefacts found.
Moreover, the Director of Archaeology and Ethnography institute of
ANSA Maisa Rahimova came up with an absurd idea, stating that Azeri
archaeologists intend to launch excavations on Artsakh territory. Hard
to believe she meant it: given its military rhetoric against Artsakh,
Azerbaijan cannot seriously hope to receive permission to excavate from
Artsakh authorities. It's not difficult to see that the archaeological
excavation will be used as a mere pretext to organize diversions
and terrorist acts in Artsakh. Azerbaijan will use archaeological
excavations as a cover for diversions it couldn't succeed in due to
the agility of Artsakh servicemen.
Artsakh, in turn, reminded Azerbaijan about the Armenian cemetery
in Jugha, completely obliterated by Azeri soldiers. Azerbaijan was
advised not to worry: Artsakh scientists are performing necessary
archaeological excavations, proving time after time that Azeris have
no historic, moral or legal relevance to Karabakh.
