Asistant to President comments on reports about destruction of Armenian chapel

The assistant to the president wrote a relative post on his Twitter page, Report informs.

"In 2017 upon appeal of Azerbaijan, OSCE MG Co-Chairs visited an illegal chapel built in Jabrayil. They concluded that this is a chapel built in a military compound for the service of soldiers. Any attempts to change the religious/cultural nature of seized lands illegal."
