Шотландец Стивен Сим наверное последний европеец, который исследовал судьбу армянских культурных памятников в автономной республике Нахичеван (Азербайджан). Впервые публикуется его рассказ (на английском) об этой поездке в августе 2005 г., и об обстоятельствах, из-за которых он был вынужден покинуть этот регион. Источник |

esho po teme: http://www.excal.on.ca/index.php?opt...=1353&Itemid=2 Cultural destruction, a genocide continued Written by Raffi Sarkissian, Contributor Wednesday, 01 February 2006 History leaves its tangible marks on our world through the remnants of architecture and artifacts, which become valuable information for individuals researching the social sciences. For example, the Coliseum in Italy with its magnificent design tells us much about the culture, architectural motif and favorite past times of the ancient Romans. Many historians of ancient history have indubitably learned a great deal from architecture such as the above example. However, in certain circumstances, when these invaluable pieces of history lie in occupied or disputed territory, they are systematically destroyed and removed from the face of the earth in attempts to remove, along with them, the cultural and historical realities and pasts of certain regions. This is especially true when the country committing these acts of cultural genocide is working diligently to hide a historical truth. I speak of this problem because of a very recent incident in Old Djulfa, Nakhichevan, an Azerbaijani occupied territory, just south west of Armenia. This region is historically Armenian, along with much of Eastern Turkey. After the forcible removal and deportations of the Armenians from their native lands, during the Armenian Genocide in 1915, these lands were left vastly marked by the remnants of the Armenian culture, religion and architecture mainly in the form of ancient churches, cemeteries and cross stones. On Dec. 15, 2005, about 100 Azeri servicemen were caught, photographed and videotaped by onlookers from the Iranian boarder, while they desecrated and destroyed a 400-year-old Armenian cemetery filled with hand carved traditional Armenian cross stones, the second of such attempts in the last three years. Both the Turkish and Azerbaijani governments have adopted a policy to destroy the abundant historical and cultural wealth situated within their territories. These are treasures, which belongs as much to all of humanity as to the Armenians themselves. Churches dating back to the eight and ninth century have been sentenced to destruction and neglect, or converted to stables and or target practice locations. The ancient city of Ani, today in Eastern Turkey, which was known for its 1,001 churches, is now barely marked by a handful of half destroyed churches. It is only a matter of time that these remnants too will be destroyed if serious action against this violence is not taken by the international community. This is an attempt to remove all traces of an Armenian history in these regions in order to further the Turkish and Azerbaijani genocide denial campaigns. The destruction of these historical and sacred sites must be exposed and stopped, and the awareness of such events across the globe must be spread worldwide. As civilized human beings, we have learned to treat and respect the cultural, religious and ethnic diversity of this world with dignity, and we must not allow such forms of uncivilized and intentional destruction to occur. Destruction such as this promotes hatred, racism and pain, and only furthers the ambitions of oppressive and genocidal governments. |

The resolution, which was approved by a vote of 85 to 5, noted that, "serious allegations have been raised about the involvement of the Azerbaijani authorities in the destruction of these monuments" and stressed that " Azerbaijan has not provided answers [on this matter to] the former special rapporteur of the United Nations." Based on these and other findings, the European Parliament “strongly condemns the destruction of the Djulfa cemetery […]” and “demands that Azerbaijan allow missions dedicated to surveying and protecting the archaeological heritage on its territory, especially Armenian heritage […].” The measure also asks Azerbaijan to “allow a European Parliament delegation to visit the archaeological site at Djulfa.” “We extend our warmest congratulations to the Members of the European Parliament for the principled and comprehensive nature of this condemnation. We regret, however, attempts, especially from the European Greens, to obscure Azerbaijan's crime by drawing fake parallels with alleged destruction of cultural sites by Armenia,” stated Hilda Tchoboian, the Chairperson of the European Armenian Federation. The European Armenian Federation calls upon the presidency of the European Parliament to promptly send the parliamentary delegation called for in this resolution to survey the destruction of Djulfa. The Federation also expressed its hope that this European initiative will encourage other national, multilateral and international bodies to condemn the Djulfa destruction with the same energy that they devoted to their protests in 2001 of the Buddhas of Bamiyan. http://www.aga-online.org/downloads/...ngnahme-en.pdf |

Reputation: 0 | 0 | ![]() Армянского кладбища в Старой Джульфе больше не существует 17.02.2006 /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Армянского кладбища в Старой Джульфе больше не существует. Все 10 тысяч хачкаров уничтожены и сейчас что-то говорить и кому-то писать об этом бессмысленно. Об этом корреспонденту PanARMENIAN.Net заявил историк, политолог Армен Айвазян. По его словам, осуждение международными структурами факта вандализма со стороны Азербайджана - всего лишь отписка. «Ничего реального это осуждение дать не может, да и не могло дать. В данном случае надо было искать какие-то другие пути для предотвращения уничтожения памятников общечеловеческой культуры. Я должен сказать, что в этом повинна и армянская сторона, которая, естественно, в силу объективных причин, не могла стать на более жесткую позицию», - подчеркнул он. Напомним, что 17 февраля Европарламент принял резолюцию, осуждающую разрушение азербайджанской стороной армянских хачкаров в Нахичеване. |
