BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 8.
Relocation of monuments in Azerbaijan’s Shusha city to another
location without prior consent is forbidden, Trend reports.
Amendments will be made to the rules for the restoration,
protection, study, use and promotion of monuments in the territory
of the city.
This issue is reflected in the draft law on amendments to the
law "On the cultural capital of Azerbaijan - Shusha city", which
was discussed at today's online meeting of the Culture Committee of
the Parliament.
According to the currently effective law, it's prohibited to
change the historical-architectural and artistic-aesthetic
appearance of monuments, demolish monuments, or carry out any
activities that may pose a threat to them in the territory of
Shusha city.
In accordance with the proposed amendment, it will be prohibited
to damage or destroy monuments located in the territory of the city
of Shusha, to move them to another place without the consent of the
body (organization) designated by the relevant executive authority,
as well as to carry out construction, installation, restoration,
reconstruction, conservation work or improvement measures that
violate their integrity and pose a threat to them.
