Armenian occupant forces have destroyed most of the Muslim temples located in Nagorno-Karabakh and the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, said spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan Elkhan Polukhov.
Commenting on the words of Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in Yerevan, Polukhov stated that Nalbandyan's words could have been true if not for the ethnic cleansing in the occupied lands, committed by Armenians, who expelled Azerbaijanis and other Muslims from these lands.

Armenian Foreign Minister Nalbandian said at a press conference on Tuesday in Yerevan, commenting on the anti-Armenian resolutions, taken at Azerbaijan's initiative in late May at the 36th conference of the OIC Foreign Ministers in Damascus that "dangerous attempts to turn the Karabakh issue into a religious one caused adoption of these documents, which might not promote the resolution of the Karabakh conflict and strengthening of stability and security in the region and cause an obvious damage to the negotiations conducted".
