BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 7. A presentation of the

Protection, Development and Restoration of Cultural Heritage on
historical and cultural monuments in the territories liberated from
Armenian occupation [in the 2020 Second Karabakh War] was held at
the International Mugham Center in Baku on July 7, Trend reports.
The purpose of creating the site is to inform the general public

destruction of samples of Azerbaijan's cultural heritage.
Speaking at the presentation, Minister of Culture Anar Karimov
spoke about the importance of the site in terms of informing the
public about the real situation with historical and cultural
monuments in the liberated territories.
According to Karimov, as a result of the monitoring conducted by
the Ministry of Culture in the liberated territories, it was found
that most of the Azerbaijani cultural monuments were destroyed by
the armed forces of Armenia, and some of them were misappropriated
or vandalized.
Mosques, mausoleums and other places of worship take a special
place among the samples of Azerbaijan's immovable cultural heritage
most affected by the vandalism, noted the minister.
The Head of the State Service for the Protection, Development
and Restoration of Cultural Heritage Azad Jafarli stressed that the
site is an important information resource.
'To implement the decree of the President of Azerbaijan 'On the
organization of a temporary special administration in the liberated
territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan' dated October 29, 2020,
representatives of the Ministry of Culture were sent to the
liberated districts and began to perform tasks related to the
primary inventory and protection of cultural facilities,' Jafarli
said.
He also stressed that the data obtained as a result of the
monitoring covered Shusha, Jabrayil, Fuzuli, Zangilan, Khojavand,
Gubadli, Aghdam, Tartar, Lachin and Kalbajar districts.
The head of the service said that the site published the results
of monitoring historical and cultural monuments in the liberated
territories.
'The site also published restored photos of historical and
cultural monuments before and after the occupation, archival
photographs and drawings, and detailed information about the
monuments. At the same time, their location is indicated on the
map,' Jafarli noted.
According to him, the web resource has been developed to meet
modern requirements in terms of ensuring user convenience.
The site meets the standards of Google SEO (search engine
optimization), he added.
