Sabir Rustamkhanli protests against destruction of historic buildings in Baku

"20-30 buildings in the center of Baku indicate to great architectural traditions dating to early 20th century. Every of them is a historic monument. The destruction of the monuments and construction of 15-20-storey buildings can be a threat to our history," he told Trend. He reminded of the poor situation at the German embassy and around the Fountain Square.

Rustamkhanli particularly noted the construction work in Icherisheher (Old City), which is regarded as an historic monument. "It is even impossible to carry out archeological work in the places sold individuals, as are coated with concrete," he demanded. He called on to stating of position on the destruction of old buildings at the parliament.
