BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 9. Azerbaijan has
introduced amendments to the resolution titled “On Approval of the
Classification by Significance Level of Immovable Historical and
Cultural Monuments Placed Under State Protection in the Territory
of the Republic of Azerbaijan,” Trend reports.
The revised resolution, signed by Prime Minister Ali Asadov,
updates official records following the renaming of locations where
architectural monuments of national importance are situated in the
Khojavend, Khojaly, Tovuz, Julfa, Ordubad, Aghjabadi, and Jalilabad
districts.
The above resolution's goal is to classify cultural heritage
structures into world, national, and local significance. This
classification follows international standards and is required by
Article 7 of the Law on the Protection of Historical and Cultural
Monuments. It also provides legal protections, conservation
measures, and usage phrases for each category, with stronger rules
for important monuments. The text also emphasizes the state's role
in protecting these monuments and describes a method for revising
categorization lists after new discoveries or status changes. This
law is essential for managing Azerbaijan's cultural heritage.
