The Armenian government arranges a number of events in Karabakh
every year in an attempt to draw attention of world community and
get Nagorno-Karabakh recognized as an independent territory.
The statement came from Faiq Ismayilov, chairman of the Organization
for Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments in the Occupied
Lands.
Armenians renovate roads, build infrastructure, hotels and restaurants,
conduct archeological excavations, overhaul historical monuments and
build Armenian churches here, he said.
"The state program adopted by Armenia places special emphasis on
development of tourism in Kalbajar, Agdara, Shusha, Khojavand,
Hadrut and Martuni. Armenians create characters of heroes of tales
in mountain slopes and rocky areas and arrange extraordinary events.
Although Armenian government involves popular art figures from abroad
with these events, they fail to draw many people," Ismayilov added.
"These events aim at propaganda solely."
Ismayilov said Armenians invited Russian jumper Pavel Olshanski to
Nagorno-Karabakh this summer.
"Pavel Olshanski delighted Armenian officials by crossing Gargar
River that divides Shusha into two parts at a height of 200 meters
from one bank into the other."
