Baku: Out of 749 state-protected monuments in the liberated territories, inventory work could not be carried out for 155, Sabina Hajiyeva, Head of the State Service for the Protection, Development, and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, said in an interview with APA.
According to Azeri-Press News Agency, Hajiyeva noted that most of the monuments that have not been inventoried are located in high-risk, remote, mountainous, or forested areas. This has posed significant challenges for conducting thorough inventory work.
Hajiyeva elaborated that the difficulties in conducting inventory work are compounded by insufficient information needed to identify the locations of archaeological sites. Additionally, the lack of precise addresses for monuments in lists from periods prior to the occupation has further complicated the process. She also mentioned that inventory work continued in September-October 2025, during which 54 monuments were monitored.
