Gabala: Azerbaijan's Alban-Udi Christian Community has strongly condemned Armenia's revanchist reaction to a visit by diplomats accredited in Azerbaijan to the liberated territories. In a statement issued by Community Chairman Robert Mobili, the religious community strongly condemned the revanchist attitudes expressed in Armenian society and political circles toward the visit of members of the diplomatic corps accredited in Azerbaijan to Garabagh and East Zangezur, particularly to the Ganjasar and Khudavang monasteries, which are part of Albania's historical and cultural heritage.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, Robert Mobili, speaking to AZERTAC in Gabala's Nij settlement, emphasized that the falsification of the Albanian Church intensified during the occupation, although its roots date back to the era of Tsar Nicholas. He stressed that after Armenia occupied Garabagh, major religious sites, including the Ganjasar and Khudavang Monastery Complexes and Aghoghlan Temple, underwent architectural alterations and the addition of cross symbols, which he described as deliberate falsification.

Robert Mobili highlighted that Armenia attempted to present Albanian churches to the world as Armenian churches. He remarked on the evident condition of Azerbaijan's mosques during the occupation and noted that following the liberation of the territories, the Azerbaijani state began restoring the Albanian churches and mosques. Asserting Azerbaijan as the successor to Caucasian Albania, Mobili underscored that Caucasian Albania was a powerful state with an independent church. He emphasized that the Alban-Udi Christian Community in Azerbaijan is the direct religious successor to this church and is working to convey this truth to the world, affirming that the Albanian Church has no connection with the Georgian, Russian, or Armenian churches.

Mobili questioned the reaction from Armenian religious figures and NGOs to the diplomats' visits, suggesting they seek to claim Azerbaijan's historical and cultural heritage. He noted that Azerbaijan has restored Albanian and other churches, including the Albanian Church of the Saint Virgin Mary located in Nij settlement, the Church of St. Elysee, and the Russian Orthodox Church, describing these efforts as an example of the country's religious tolerance.
