Today, the President met with UNESCO Director General Audrey Azoulay to discuss the cultural heritage condition in the occupied territories of Georgia and biodiversity issues, the President’s press office reported.

 

Zourabichvili said: “Beyond human rights violations in occupied territories, cultural heritage is intentionally damaged and, in many cases, destroyed; there is no international mechanism, including UNESCO, that would monitor their condition there.”

 

Georgian President anew raised the issue of UNESCO using some mechanism to monitor the monuments in the occupied territories and reiterated her call for Caucasian languages to receive special treatment within UNESCO.
