Abstract

The material and cultural monuments of Nagorno-Karabakh, which were condemned to destruction by the Armenians, are our irreplaceable national wealth as a stone memory of our history. These monuments are not only material and cultural, but also “archive” pages of our spiritual history. The destruction of historical monuments of Nagorno-Karabakh was faced with the threat of erasing the fossilized memory of our history of culture and morality. The article states that the Azerbaijani state not only carries out the restoration of churches and other historical and architectural monuments in the territory of Azerbaijan but also takes an active part in the restoration and conservation of historical monuments included to many World Cultural Heritage outside the country. The peoples of different faiths and their temples living in its territory of Azerbaijan as a tolerant country are evident with undeniable facts. The “Armenian church” can be seen in the center of Baku city, in which the state of Azerbaijan shows the care it shows to other religious monuments. As Azerbaijan is a multi-ethnic and tolerant country, just as aborigines respect the religious monuments, places of faith and cultural values of minority peoples, the same feeling of respect for the national-cultural values of the aborigines, that is, Azerbaijanis, should also be promoted. Thus, as the sense of respect for one's culture among peoples and nations increases, it will also increase the respect and esteem of one's another.
