Yerevan /Mediamax. Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mikhail Bocharnikov has stated he is certain that Azerbaijan will ensure the safety of Christian shrines in the regions of Nagorno-Karabakh that have come under Baku’s control.
In the interview with TASS, he has recalled that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev had repeatedly spoken about this.
“In a televised address to the people on November 25, on the occasion of the liberation of Kelbajar region, Aliyev has reiterated that Christian monuments are the historical and cultural property of Azerbaijan, which is under state protection,” said the Russian ambassador.
Mikhail Bocharnikov has recalled that on November 14, in a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin, Ilham Aliyev guaranteed the safety and normal functioning of Christian shrines in the territories returned to Azerbaijan.
“I am sure that it will be so in practice as well. We know Azerbaijan as a multinational and multi-confessional state, where the rights and freedoms of representatives of different ethnicities and followers of many religions are equally ensured,” said the Russian Ambassador.
