"Armenian nationalistic policy of genocide and aggression against
Azerbaijan people is 200 years old," is said in President Ilham
Aliyev's address to Azerbaijani people on the occasion of March
31 - Day of the Azeri Genocide, published by press office of the
presidential administration. Aliyev continues: "Such policy is aimed
at expatriating of Azerbaijanis and establishing Great Armenia in
their native territories, invented by Armenian ideologists".
The president stresses, "history of Azeri people was boldly falsified,
and its historical and cultural sights, as well as place-names
became objects of open aggression of Armenian historians and so
called ideologists". "To achieve the aim, they mobilized Armenian
lobby and Diaspora, founding 'national-cultural', political, and
even terrorist organizations. Resettlement of Armenians from Iran
and Ottoman Empire into native Azerbaijan territories - Karabakh and
Zangezur at the beginning of 20th century, followed by forced changing
of demographic situation, mass murders of Azerbaijanis in 1905 and
1918, aimed at threatening and expatriation of native population,
transfer of Zangezur to Armenia in 1920, granting to Nagorno Karabakh
status of Autonomous Region, resettlement of hundreds of thousands
of Azerbaijanis from Armenia, in accordance with decision of USSR
leadership, in 1948-1953, are bloody pages of Azeris' deportation
from native territories. In 1988, Armenian nationalists, stirred up
by foreign forces, waged open actions, aimed at tearing away Nagorno
Karabakh from Azerbaijan and its further joining Armenia. The conflict
resulted in occupation of Nagorno Karabakh and neighboring areas. Over
one million of Azerbaijanis became refugees and forced migrants. Dozens
of thousands of people died," is said in the presidential address.
Further, Aliyev stresses: "Armenian chauvinists' aggression against
Azerbaijan has been continuing till now. And it is not completed
list of Armenian nationalists' crimes. Policy of Armenia and its
protectors is doomed to failure, because the line sharply differs
from leading tendencies of international policy." "We need solution
of Armenian-Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh conflict in accordance
with international law, in the framework of acceptable variants. We
demand to guarantee Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, and to create
conditions for returning home forced migrants. Aggressive policy
debars Armenia from all regional projects. We advocate restoration of
historical justice, calling to account persons, pursuing policy of
occupation and genocide, before international community. I am sure,
national unity and purposeful policy will result in indispensable
achievement of proclaimed aims, and denunciation of all those,
who dooms peoples to eternal hostility and isolation," Ilham Aliyev
finishes his address to Azerbaijan people.
