thousands of people and seriously changed the structure of the places
having historical, religious and cultural importance in the region,"
he said.
According to the statement, while visiting Nakhchivan, he held
discussions with the local authorities about the Armenian cemetery in
Julfa. "I regret that the authorities did not allow me to visit that
place due to the security. The protection of the region's heritage is
very important for future peace. A lot of monuments have been damaged
and destroyed in the region as a result of Nagorno Karabakh conflict,"
he said.
