UN Special Rapporteur expresses concern over the destruction and appropriation of Armenian historical and religious sites by Azerbaijan.

In the communication addressed to Azerbaijan, the UN Special Rapporteur on cultural rights, Alexandra Xanthaki, expressed concern about the “ongoing pattern of destruction and appropriation of Armenian historically, culturally and religiously significant sites and objects of religious, historical and cultural importance.

She expressed particular concern over the “allegations that the combined attacks to people, monuments and symbols, the falsification of the historical narrative and erasure of place names and the negative discourses about Armenians may amount to cultural cleansing and will have a profound negative impact on the possibilities to restore lasting peace in the region.”
