Armenian photo exhibition scheduled for today at UNESCO headquarters in Paris failed

Armenian photo exhibition "Art of Khachkar" scheduled for today at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris has failed.

Armenia media reported that the position of UNESCO representatives caused it. Deputy Culture Minister of Armenia, Armenian ambassador to France and other Armenian officials came to participate in the event, but they saw that the stands were not ready. The boards under the photos were removed. Regarding it as anti-Armenian action, Armenian community of France said they would send a protest letter to UNESCO "in connection with denial of Armenian cultural heritage".

Armenians claim that some of the gravestones called "Kachkar" once existed in Nakhchivan.
