Statue

Hetoum, the statue of Natavan was damaged and sold as scrap metal to Georgia, where it was bought by Azerbaijani authorities. Please do not remove sourced info. --Grandmaster 06:34, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Nowhere is this sourced, you provided a random picture. To say politely, this picture did not give me 1,000 words. Please give text of this.Hetoum I 06:58, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Hetoum, please revert yourself, here’s a quote from de Waal regarding this statue:

In their turn, the conquering Armenians dismantled and sold off dark bronze busts of three Azerbaijani Shusha musicians and poets. Again, these memorials were rescued by chance, this time from a scrap-metal merchant in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi. I saw the three bronze heads, forlorn and pocked with bullets, lying in the courtyard of the headquarters of the Red Cross in the center of Baku: the poet Natevan, an earnest girl in a head scarf reading a book, missing a thumb; the composer Hajibekov, a bullet-ridden gentleman in double-breasted suit and broken spectacles; and Bul Bul, a famous singer with a serious domed bronze forehead.

Sure, I added exactly what the source said, and the other stuff you forgot to add about the real cultural destruction.Hetoum I 04:46, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

How the stuff that you added is relevant to Natavan, the poetess? This article is about her. Grandmaster 05:05, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

same as what does karabakh war or other statues has to do with this? Also, nothing in your source referred to Natavan;s residence. If you mention one "destruction" you should mention the other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hetoum I (talk • contribs) 05:27, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

HetoumI - you are removing sourced info and it is directly related to Natavan - her monument. I don't know how relevant general info about destruction of Armenian cultural heritage here. It has its own page.--Dacy69 15:39, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed most of the section because it was a mess. Please rewrite it according to De Waal and no picture sources please. VartanM 18:02, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I reverted the important info about the fate of the bust and added Thomas de Waal's quote from his book "Black Garden" Ehud 05:14, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
