"The Khudavang Monastery is one of the important examples of Azerbaijan’s historical and cultural heritage. All religious and cultural monuments in Azerbaijan are protected and restored by the state," Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan - Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration Hikmat Hajiyev noted on X, APA reports.

He noted that this demonstrates Azerbaijan’s commitment to preserving its cultural legacy: "Unfortunately, during the Armenian occupation, many cultural and religious monuments of Azerbaijan were destroyed, looted, or falsified. The Khudavang Monastery was also subjected to distortion and falsification as part of this vandalism. After the war, Azerbaijan is seriously committed to the restoration of cultural heritage in these territories, and its experience in this field can serve as an example. The restoration and preservation of monuments like Khudavang in their original historical shape are part of this policy."
