  • Brief Over Curtureel En Religieus Erfgoed in Nagorno-Karabach
    De Minister-president Minister van Algemene Zaken Postbus 20001 2500 EA Den Haag In afschrift aan: Minister Kaag en de fracties in de Tweede Kamer Amsterdam, 16 november 2020 Betreft: oproep tot bescherming van cultureel en religieus erfgoed in Nagorno- Karabach Excellentie, Zeer geachte Heer Rutte, Als gevolg van de op 9 november jl. getekende overeenkomst door de Minister- president van de Republiek Armenië Nikol Pashinyan, President van de Azerbeidzjaanse Republiek Ilham Aliyev en de President van de Russische Federatie Vladimir Poetin, komen een aantal historisch Armeense gebieden van Nagorno- Karabach in handen van Azerbeidzjan. In dit gebied bevinden zich een groot aantal Armeense monumenten, kloostercomplexen en kerken, die een universele culturele en religieuze waarde vertegenwoordigen. Velen zijn zeer oud en gaan terug op de eerste eeuwen van onze tijdrekening. Een lijst is bijgesloten. Gezien het feit dat in het verleden onder Azerbeidzjaans gezag op grote schaal Armeens cultureel erfgoed is vernietigd, zoals de begraafplaats met duizenden khachkars (kruis-stenen) in Julfa eind jaren negentig, en in acht nemende de eerste tekenen van schending van Armeense kerken en andere culturele en religieuze objecten in Nagorno-Karabach na de verovering van de desbetreffende gebieden door het Azerbeidzjaanse leger, verzoeken wij u dit acute gevaar te onderkennen en op korte termijn stappen te ondernemen, bij voorkeur in internationaal verband, om dit cultureel en religieus erfgoed in Nagorno-Karabach te beschermen.

    MONTREAL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE BACKGROUND GUIDE United Nations Security Council 1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Dear Delegates, My name is Alex and I will be your chair for the 2020 MUNC UNSC Crisis Simulation. A little about me before we start: In 2017, I started my Model UN career as a wee delegate attending my first conference: MUNC’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). For the first day or two, I was extremely quiet; I did not raise my placard to speak and definitely did not believe in my abilities as a delegate. However, as time went on and I realised the chairs do not bite as hard as I perceived them to, I began to participate with more regularity. I spoke frequently, passed notes, and spoke as much as I could. For many, this will be your first dabble into the world of Model UN. Let this be a forum to express your interest in world affairs and to showcase your bright ideas for the future. Please do not be intimidated by the others in the room and give it your all! I and the rest of my team will do the best we can to make you feel as comfortable as possible, even if it may only be from behind our screens. The United Nations Security Council is by far the most powerful branch of the United Nations. Use this to your advantage to solve the crisis playing out throughout the weekend. The conflict we have in store for you is one rarely spoken about today, yet still continues on in 2020.

    PHOTOLURE/ Hayk Baghdasaryan The publication became possible thanks to the support of World Federalist Movement/Institute for Global Policy. The opinions expressed in our published works are those of the author(s) and do not reflect the opinions of World Federalist Movement/Institute for Global Policy. YEREVAN, 2021 Introduction The first day of the ceasefire agreement, November 10, 2020, stopped the 44-day aggression of Turkey-Azerbaijan alliance against the unrecognized, small Republic of Nagorno Karabakh. A young woman journalist from Nagorno Karabakh wrote on her Facebook page: “I went to kiss the walls of my Amaras1 monastery, as I know I will never see it again.” That first day of peace, many people drove to visit the Dadivank2 monastery for the last time, to bid farewell to the spiritual treasure that was an inseparable part of their historic, centuries-old identity as Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh. People were confident that in only a few days, they would no longer be able to visit any of their national treasures so dear to their hearts—treasures of intellectual history that they grew up with. The videos broadcast and shared by Azeri soldiers over the internet showed them standing on the Green Church3, taking off the cross, and destroying the bell tower. It left the local Armenian population with very little hope for the preservation of the sites. The newly drawn map had handed over to Azerbaijan the control of these national treasures, dear to their hearts and part of their geographic landscape of historical monuments. As is true for all world nations, the lives of Armenians can’t be separated from their intellectual, cultural heritage.

  • Protection of Armenian Cultural Heritage of the Republik of Artsakh
    13.11.2020 Protection of Armenian cultural heritage of the Republik of Artsakh The German-Armenian Lawyers' Association (Association) has been continuously following the war in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) since September 27, 2020 and is actively documenting and reporting international humanitarian law violations. Based on the Association Statute as a non-profit organization, our mandate includes not only the documentation and reporting of human rights violations, war crimes and the violation of international humanitarian law by the Azerbaijani armed forces in this context, but also the reporting of imminent and accordingly still preventable crimes. Since September 27th, our association provides legal reviews and analyses on the events relating to the war in Artsakh. Committed to our statutory objectives, we called on to politicians, society as well as public and non-public institutions and informed about war crimes, the international human rights and humanitarian law violations after profound research and evaluation of the facts. Due to the current situation that 80% of Artsakh territory falls under the control of the Republic of Azerbaijan, cultural property/heritage have to be left behind and are thus threatened by imminent destruction. The Republic of Artsakh has an Armenian rich cultural and religious heritage. There are over 80 Armenian-apostolic churches and monasteries in the Republic of Artsakh, which were built in different centuries.1 These cultural and natural heritage sites are currently under threat according to the UNESCO fall into and protected under Articles 1 and 2 of the World Heritage Convention. It is proven that these properties are built different periods of the Armenian architecture, culture and sepulchral culture.

Their activities are concentred especially in Gyumri, which has an invaluable historical, patrimonial and cultural wealth. After the earthquake of 1988, which caused the death of tens of thousands of inhabitants, this city tries to get up and regain its once undeniable radiance. Following this tragic event, the Family Care Foundation was created by the will of implementing projects for the economic and cultural development of Armenia in the fields of tourism, art, handicraft and restoration of traditional values with a strong ethical requirement. Regarding Muscari, created in 2016, its purpose is to valorise Armenian culture and French-Armenian exchanges. It works for education in France and Armenia and it promotes a better knowledge of peoples, cultures and languages. This complementarity gives life to projects such as the ceramics workshop in Gyumri, which allows currently many families to live with dignity, thanks to arts and crafts inspired by among others Armenian potters from Kütahya in the former Ottoman Empire, the golden age of their activity being in the 18th century.

BRIEF HISTORY OF ARTSAKH (NAGORNO-KARABAKH) Artsakh One of the Armenian Provinces Artsakh (referred to as Nagorno-Karabakh in Russian) is located on the eastern side of the Armenian Highlands and since ancient times has comprised one of the provinces of successive Armenian kingdoms. Armenia’s north-eastern border, according to several ancient sources, was the River Kura, which places Artsakh within the Armenia. In the works of Strabo (64/63 BC – ca. AD 24), Pliny the Elder (23 AD – August 25, 79 AD), Claudius Ptolemy (c. AD 90 – c. AD 168), Plutarch (c. 46 – 120 AD), Dion Cassius (c. AD 150 – 235) and other authors, it is noted that the Kura River formed the border between Armenia and Caucasian Albania. Recognizing the signifi cance of Artsakh, King Tigran the Great, in the middle of the fi rst century B.C., built one of the four cities that bore his name – Tigranocerta (Tigranakert) there. The ruins of the town have been preserved, including burial mounds, various monuments, and platforms carved from stone. At the beginning of the 5th century, a er map 1.
