The Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture has issued an appeal in connection with the carpets stolen by Armenia.
"Proceeding from the information on the Armenpress.am website, an exhibition of carpets illegally taken from Shusha Carpet Museum on November 1, 2020 will be held on February 20, 2021 at the Alexander Tamanyan National Museum-Institute of Architecture in Armenia," the ministry said.
"We state that the so-called "Artsakh carpets" that will be showcased at the exhibition are samples of the national heritage of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is an integral part of Azerbaijan," the message said. "This exhibition is another theft and misappropriation of the cultural heritage of the Azerbaijani people by the Armenians."
