Azerbaijan is ready to provide the Armenian authorities with the
maps of the ancient Yerevan so they can restore the historical look
of their capital, Azeri presidential representative Fuad Akhundov
told Interfax-Azerbaijan.
"If they really want to restore the historical look of Yerevan, we
are ready to kindly provide them with the old city's maps. There are
also a number of Russian and European paintings picturing the Erivan
Fortress (XVI) the way it was in the 19th century," Akhundov said.
He believes that the Armenian authorities are trying to mislead the
world community and to give Yerevan a look it never actually had in
the past.
He said that the Erivan Sardar Palace, one of the gems of the Caucasus,
was destroyed in 1964 instead of being turned into a museum.
"Yerevan claims that it is an ancient city but it has no historical
center. And to blame for this are those vandals who destroyed the
Erivan Fortress just because it was a masterpiece of Azeri art,"
Akhundov said.
But Mr. Akhundov forgot to say that the Azeris could not have art at
that time just because they were not a nation yet.
Akhundov's interview is just one more attempt to fake history and it
is aimed against not only the Armenian cultural-historical heritage
but also the legacy of the Muslim Persia-Iran. So, once again they
are playing the fox.
