“We are also in contact with UNESCO. We are waiting for UNESCO for almost 30 years. A few years ago, even during the occupation period, we invited UNESCO to come and see what is happening in our territories. The OSCE Minsk Group has already sent two to occupied territories. Intelligence missions. We asked them to send a mission again, but they were not sent. ” As Azerdead reports, this was stated by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at a meeting with the new resident coordinator of the UN in Azerbaijan, Andreva.
“We asked UNESCO to evaluate the damage caused by Armenian aggressors to our historical monuments, but they refused. UNESCO officials said that the organization was not engaged in political issues. However, after the end of the war we received signals that they want to come. Of course, we They expressed their surprise. Because for 30 years we called them, but they did not come. And after the war they decided to come. We agreed to it, and as far as I know, the latest information was that the mission was already created, but now again Armenia protests. Therefore, the mission is again delayed.
We are in constant contact with other UN structures. We will need extensive international participation and assistance from the point of view of expertise and councils. Because now the territory we restore, exceeds tens of thousands of kilometers, and, of course, we are in contact with the UN Supreme Commissioner for Refugees. We plan to move all the former displaced persons as soon as possible, but the main problem is that all places are completely destroyed and mined.
Therefore, our main goal with the United Nations and its structures is to achieve the restoration of our liberated lands. We hope that your representation in Baku will be actively involved in this work, “said the President.
