Armenia is making intense efforts to preserve the cultural heritage of Azerbaijani-held Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan said on Wednesday.

“We have drawn up a comprehensive action plan together with our colleagues from the Foreign Ministry to protect the cultural heritage in Nagorno-Karabakh,” she told a news conference.

Andreasyan said that the material and intangible cultural heritage left in the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh had been inventoried and a complete database had been created.
