It is well known that Armenians have appropriated some of the cultural
heritage of Azerbaijan and have "Armenized" them.
One needs to be so much shameless to appropriate culture of other
nation and popularize it as his own.
This seems to be their essence. Armenians who have sought to shape
their false culture due to other nations try to appropriate everything
they see and resort to various hypocritical means to make international
community to believe in their lies. The Eurovision Song Contest-2009
can serve as example. Back then, Armenians displayed the image of
"We and our mountains" monument located in occupied part of Karabakh
in a short footage shot by them. This was sign of open claims of
Armenia to a part of Azerbaijani land and its greedy nature.
It is no coincidence that organizing committee of the contest provided
an immediate response to protests by the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan
and removed image of the monument in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan
from the video of Armenia. The fact that Armenian singer Sirusho
displayed the image of the same monument again this time on the
reverse side of a note-book while announcing outcomes of the voting
can be described as nothing but impudence.
It is noteworthy that the monument "We and our mountains" (consists of
heads of an old man and an old woman) was erected near Khankandi in
Askaran District of Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region of Azerbaijan
SSR in 1967 to show that Karabakh is a land of long-livers.
Who knows, the name "We and our monuments" was meant to indicate that
the area where it is located belongs to Armenians and that they have
been settled here since ancient times. The fact that the monument
has been erected by Azerbaijani citizen of Armenian origin Sarkis
Bagdasaryan gives a reason to think this way.
That the monument was built by a sculptor of Armenian origin does
not mean it is a cultural heritage of Armenia. It has been built by
Azerbaijani citizen through the funds from the Azerbaijani budget in
Azerbaijani territory. Monuments are considered wealth of a country
where they are located throughout the world.
Who would think Armenia will put claims to monuments created by
Azerbaijani citizens through funds of Azerbaijan in Azerbaijani
territory after some time?! The fact that it has been erected by
Armenian architect does not prevent it to be one of the masterpieces
belonging to Azerbaijani art and list it as a cultural heritage of
a state which has nothing to do with this territory and has spent no
funds to erect it.
Armenian themselves understand it very well that this monument does
not belong to them. Otherwise, they would not insult a monument which
they almost tried to present as their national symbol in a contest
which has nothing to do with politics.
To be more exact, as it can be seen from the photos taken this summer,
Armenians have spoiled the look of the monument by various writings
on it. There is nothing surprising about this.
This is because a group of people (I can not simply call Armenians a
nation) unable to create any work of art fail to appreciate cultural
heritage of by other nations.
If they insult the monument which they consider their symbol, then it
is not difficult to imagine what they do to monuments of Azerbaijan,
which they see as their enemy.
