Azerbaijan demonstrates sensitive attitude to the preservation of world cultural heritage, said Minister of Culture and Antiques of Bahrain Shaikha Mai bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, who arrived in Azerbaijan to participate in the 43rd session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, Trend reports with reference to Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture.

The Bahraini minister, while appreciating the holding of the session of the World Heritage Committee in Baku, noted that Azerbaijan standsat a very high level.

“Everything is organized very well,” she said. “Azerbaijan has several times proved that it can organize events of a global scale at a high level. I am sure that this session will be successful as well.”

She noted that not only organizations, but also every person should pay attention to the issue of preserving world heritage.

“Humanity is experiencing a period of intensive scientific and technological progress,” she said. “This development is in itself wonderful. However, the ongoing military clashes, occupation and other events leave the cultural heritage of millennia to face the danger of extinction, sometimes in a very short time."
