The continuation of the destruction of the historical fabric of Abarkoh in the last few days
While some cultural heritage activists of Abarkoh blame the municipality and governorate for the recent destruction of the historical fabric of Abarkoh, ISNA’s report shows that the property was destroyed by the neighbor without the owner’s permission.
In this context, Abdul Majid Shakri Shams, the deputy of cultural heritage of Yazd, announced after the destruction of a part of the wall and water tank of the “Basiri” house in Abarkoh, that a complaint has been filed against the municipality and the neighbor of Basiri’s house, and the legal process is ongoing, and the destroyed part must be rebuilt exactly the same. to be
He said about the role of the governor in the destruction of Basiri House: I am not saying that the governor played a role in the destruction, but the governor can play a role in preventing the destruction in these situations and as a representative of the government, he regularly informs the municipality that any The construction activity within the scope of the historical context requires the inquiry of the cultural heritage. Agents under the supervision of the municipality should under no circumstances attempt to destroy a historical monument, and the governor has a role in preventing the repetition of these cases.
Javad Adel, head of Abarkoh Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Department, said in an interview with Isna: “I have not heard anything about the role of the governor and the municipality has completely rejected this issue.”
Following the recent events, an activist of Abarkoh cultural heritage has mentioned in the article he sent for Heritage:
The destruction of several historical houses in the neighborhood of Darb Qala and Safaiyeh in the historical city of Abarkoh was done in the shadow of the silence of the cultural heritage and municipality in the historical context of the national register of Abarkoh.
According to the law on the protection of historical monuments, any kind of intrusion into the registered historical context is prohibited.
What is behind the story of the destruction and re-occupation of the huts and castles, the historical house of the Basiris in the Gol Karan neighborhood and the destruction of the houses inside the historical context located in the Darb Qala neighborhood of Abarkoh?
Some of these houses, dating back at least over a hundred years, were located next to the historical ditches and moats of Darb Qala neighborhood, which were completely destroyed. Some have been left alone.
Although the historical context of Abarkouh has been registered in the list of national monuments of Iran, and according to the law, any kind of intrusion into it is prohibited, but it seems that the officials of Abarkouh have no will to preserve and revive the historical context of the ancient city of Abarkouh, which is the easiest and fastest way. They have put the destruction of the historical fabric of Abarkoh on their agenda.
Mr. Zarghami, Mr. Minister of Cultural Heritage! During the last one and a half months, several buildings have been completely destroyed in Abarkoh or their territory has been encroached upon. Why is no one answering?
Where are the cultural heritage managers of Yazd province and the officials of Abarkoh city?
Governor of Yazd, you are from Abarkoh, where exactly are you? Why should people who have no specialization in cultural heritage be placed at the head of a specialized institution in the ancient city of Abarkoh?
What is all this destruction and encroachment in less than a month for?
