Artsakh Presidnt's spokesman David Babayan suggested Baku to
recall demolition of Armenian cultural heritage, specifically
destroyed khachkars in New Jugha, before laying claims to organising
archaeological excavations in Artsakh.
Earlier, the Director of Archaeology and Ethnography institute of
ANSA Maisa Rahimova stated that artefacts recently discovered in
Artsakh's Kashatagh region belong to Azerbaijan.
Commenting on the statement above in a conversation with a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Babayan noted that the whole Azerbaijani
policy is founded on lies and falsifications.
"A pseudo-science, driving local "historians" to attempt proving
Sumerian origin of the Azerbaijani, is gaining impetus. Azeris are
trying to prove Armenian cultural benchmarks and cities belong to
them, yet the first historic mention of Azerbaijanis was reported
only in the 20th century. "
"Moreover, archaeological excavations in Artsakh once again prove it
to be an originally Armenian territory," the spokesman stressed.
In January 2011, 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.
