BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 16. Traces of the
Christian heritage of Caucasian Albania can be seen in Karabakh and
other parts of Azerbaijan.
This was noted by Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of
Azerbaijan and head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the
Presidential Administration, in a post on his X account regarding
his speech at the Arab Media Forum.
"At the Arab Media Forum, I spoke about the ancient Kingdom of
Caucasian Albania and its rich Christian heritage, whose enduring
and particularly significant footprint can be seen in Karabakh and
other parts of Azerbaijan. I highlighted Azerbaijan’s centuries-old
tradition of multiculturalism and religious coexistence, as well as
our country’s commitment to protecting, preserving, and restoring
its rich cultural and religious heritage, irrespective of its
origin or faith. I also addressed the extensive destruction,
desecration, and alteration of Azerbaijan’s religious and cultural
heritage during the years of occupation, stressing the importance
of safeguarding historical truth and preserving cultural heritage
for future generations. The panel I shared with the Foreign
Minister of Georgia and the Minister of Economy and Tourism of the
UAE, moderated by the CEO of Euronews," the post reads.
