[edit] New section on the khachkar dispute

I proposed this version as a compromise to User:Grandmaster. He liked it:

Armenia has accused the government of Azerbaijan of destroying historic Armenian headstones (khachkars) at a medieval cemetery in Julfa, presenting photos and video in support of these charges.[1][2][3] Azerbaijan denies there has been destruction despite a confirmation by the IWPR.[4] According to the Azerbaijani Ambassador to the US Khafiz Pashayev, the videos and photographs that have surfaced show some unknown people destroying some mid-size stones and is not clear of what ethnicity those people are. Instead, the ambassador asserts that the Armenian side started a propaganda campaign against Azerbaijan to divert attention from the destruction of Azerbaijani monuments in Armenia.[5]
The European Parliament has formally called on Azerbaijan to stop the demolition as a breach of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention.[6] According to its resolution regarding cultural monuments in the South Caucasus, the European Parliament "condemns strongly the destruction of the Julfa cemetery as well as the destruction of all sites of historical importance that has taken place on Armenian or Azerbaijani territory, and condemns any such action that seeks to destroy cultural heritage." [7] In 2006, Azerbaijan barred the European Parliament from inspecting and examining the ancient burial site.[8]

I think that this should work. Any thoughts or comments? All the best, Aivazovsky 23:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

the last line is factually incorrect. Only a few MPs were not given permission -- meanwhile as Armenian FM Oskanian declared, an official delegation from UNESCO is going to visit Naxcivan, so as we see, there is no problem with official delegations, only with biased one's who may be acting per Armenian diaspora's instructions. --adil 02:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
The quote from Aivazovsky's source:
The Azerbaijan government, which denies the claims, is now at the centre of a row with MEPs, some of whom it accused of a "biased and hysterical approach". Its ambassador to the EU also says the European Parliament has ignored damage to Muslim sites in Armenia. Azerbaijan has refused to allow a delegation of Euro MPs permission to visit the 1,500-year-old Djulfa cemetery during their trip to the region last month.
So Azerbaijan denied entry not to Europarliament, but to a delegation of MPs, whom it accused of "biased and hysterical approach". I suggest the following wording: "denied permission to visit to a few MPs of Europarliament, whom it accused of a "biased and hysterical approach". This is basically what Adil proposed below, so let's discuss it. Grandmaster 06:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] changes

Once again, clarified the wording about EP to: In March 2006, Azerbaijan did not give permission to a few European Parliament members from inspecting and examining the burial site, accusing them of "biased and hysterical approach". [9]. Added citations that both Orontids and Artaxiads were Persian and otherwise of Iranian origin. Added back the Azerbaijani ethymology of the word with two citations that were removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AdilBaguirov (talk • contribs) 02:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

All of the above is your pov interpretation. I suggest you open an RFC, because this is becoming tiresome.--Ευπάτωρ Talk!! 03:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
