Armenian Official Disputes Azerbaijani Claims on Heritage

Armenian parliament member Ruben Rubinyan has rejected statements made by Azerbaijani official Hajiyev regarding Armenian cultural and historical heritage, characterizing the claims as unfounded.

Rubinyan stated that such assertions are neither constructive nor helpful in ongoing discussions between the two nations. The dispute centers on competing historical narratives between Armenia and Azerbaijan over cultural patrimony in the South Caucasus region.

The exchange reflects ongoing tensions between the neighboring countries over heritage sites and historical claims, a recurring point of contention in their relationship.
