Under the Order, the territories encompassing the Azikh and Taghlar cave settlements in the Khojavend district have been designated as the Azikh-Taghlar Archaeological Park State Reserve. Recognized as some of the oldest sites of human habitation and unique examples of world cultural heritage, the caves will be protected, restored and scientifically studied, while their archaeological significance will be promoted both nationally and internationally.
The Cabinet of Ministers has been tasked with approving the reserve’s regulations within three months, defining its boundaries and protection zone, establishing a special regime for its territory, and informing the President accordingly.
