Regnum news agency has recently published a news "Ancient city of Tigranakert in Nagorno Karabakh is declared a reserve".
In particular, according to the material, the so-called "Tigranakert", which was allegedly revealed by Armenian archaeologists, got a status of the reserve. According to the material, this was reported during the discussion of the draft state budget of the so-called "NKR". The material also says that it was decided to allocate 35 mln drams from the state budget of "NKR" of 2009 for continuation of works in the city. Spokesman for Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibrahim commented about the issue and said;
"Such actions from the side of Armenia contradict to the norms and principles of international law, the commitments, assumed by the states in the framework of international organizations, as well as documents, Armenia is a party to.
This is not the first time that Armenia tries either to ruin the cultural monuments of Azerbaijan or rename ancient Azerbaijani cities and memorials in the occupied lands or conduct any other actions, contradicting to the aforementioned commitments of the Armenian side.
On the other hand, these actions do not promote the negotiation process and have the most negative impact on it. The negotiation process is protracted by Armenia", said Ibrahim.
