The Deputy Director of the UNESCO World Heritage Center was unable to comment on the destruction of the Armenian churches in Artsakh: "It's time for me to go" The Deputy Director of the UNESCO World Heritage Center, Jyoti Husagrahar, in an interview with news.am in Yerevan, said that she could not comment on the destruction of the Armenian churches in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) because she was "not aware" of it. When the reporter mentioned reports of vandalism, she said she had to go.
The journalist told Husgrahar that Armenian society is concerned about the safety of Armenian cultural heritage in Artsakh due to many reports of the destruction of churches there, and asked what measures UNESCO is taking. "I can't comment on the destruction of churches, because I don't know which destroyed churches we're talking about," Husagarhar replied with a smile as she held a glass of white wine in her hand. When the journalist mentioned many incidents of vandalism, she herself rolled her eyes, and it was clear from her appearance that the question made her clearly uncomfortable. "Sorry, I have to go" - she said.
