 Armenia blocks Azerbaijan and Turkey's attempt to "usurp" lavash December 6, 2016 - 15:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian delegation to UNESCO ruined the attempts of Azerbaijan and Turkey to illegally appropriate the Armenian lavash (flatbread) and submit it solely as part of their own cultural heritage, head of Foreign Ministry's International Organizations Department Vahram Kazhoyan told reporters on Tuesday, December 6. "Lavash was already on the UNESCO list but as an element of Armenian culture only," Kazhoyan said. "Following several countries' submission this year, the Armenian delegation started actively proposing amendments to the document. The bread is now recognized as part of a common heritage of a number of countries, including Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan."
