(Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments)
The law outlines Azerbaijan’s commitment to safeguarding its historical and cultural heritage, stating that protection is a collective duty under the Constitution. It mandates the state’s provision of resources for preservation, research, and public access to monuments. All entities, including governmental, local, and private, must assist in safeguarding these sites, following guidelines for construction near them. During conflicts, specific authorities protect monuments in border zones and military areas. The law categorises monuments, detailing their preservation, restoration, and use, with provisions for state ownership and restrictions on alterations to ensure their cultural and historical integrity.
