BAKU. – Azerbaijan authorities continue the policy of concealing the true facts from the world community. In particular, they ban U.S. ambassadors to visit to the Armenian cemetery.

According to the statement, the Nakhijevan authorities rejected to allow the U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Richard Morningstar to visit the Armenian cemetery in the Old Julfa, due to ‘security issues.’ What could have threatened the diplomat in an ancient cemetery is still unclear.

The ambassador claimed that he regrets that the officials rejected his visit to the cemetery due to security issues and get acquainted with the situation in the site. Preservation of the national heritage in the region is important for the future of the world. Due to the Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh] conflict the region has already lost great deal of monuments, APA quoted Morningstar.

Earlier, the Azerbaijani authorities have also banned the visit by the U.S. previous ambassador Matthew Bryza to the same cemetery.
