Ganira Pashayeva: "Ancient Christian monuments in Azerbaijan are Albanian and it is illogical to state that Azerbaijanis destroy their own history"

Raf Ovanesyan, head of the Armenian delegation in PACE, raised the issue of the so-called destruction of Armenian memorials in Nakhchivan during the discussion of the speech of the new chairman of the CE Ministers' Committee at the PACE session.

The response of the Azerbaijani side was adequate.

Member of the Azerbaijani delegation in PACE Ganira Pashayeva, who spoke after the Armenian MP, accused him of the attempt to mislead the European Parliamentarians.

"As is known from the history, Christianity was a religion of Azerbaijan before Islam. Caucasian Albania is one of the first Christian states. Ancient Christian memorials are Albanian, but not Armenian ones, as the representatives of Armenia state. It is illogical to state that Azerbaijanis destroy these memorials, which would mean that Azerbaijanis destroy their own history", she said.
