The report is called – "Condition of the historical and cultural Azerbaijani monuments on the Armenian territory". The report provides thorough information about the historical and cultural monuments located at the territory of Nagorno Karabakh and adjacent Azerbaijani districts occupied by Armenian separatists. It contains information about the percentage coefficient in the ethnic population of Nagorno Karabakh and gives exact description and historical value of all monuments at the occupied territory.

It particularly mentions more than 2.000 ancient human monuments near the Byakhmedli village of the Agdam district, world–famous Azikh cave, located at the territory of the occupied Fizuli district, the stone book made approximately 1.000 years ago near Nuvendi district (Megrin district of modern day Armenia) – all are well known around the world.
