Azerbaijan, Baku, 1 February /corr. Trend I.Alizade / The Parliament
of Azerbaijan will establish a commission to study the historical
reasons of giving Irevan (currently Yerevan) to Armenia.
"By 31 March - Genocide Day of the Azerbaijanis - Parliament will
adopt a document disclosing the reasons of giving Azerbaijani land
to Armenia, and against claims by Armenia," said the Speaker of the
Azerbaijani Parliament, Oktay Asadov, on 31 January.
The Deputy Executive Secretary of the ruling New Azerbaijan
Party, Siyavush Novruzov, said that Armenia made an appeal to the
international organizations, demanding that the map of Azerbaijan's
Nakchivan Autonomous Republic be changed including the territorial
claims. "If we do not answer their claims in time, Armenia will be
continuing to expand its territories at the expense of Azerbaijan,"
he said.
Novruzov also suggested establishing a commission to study the
reasons of giving Irevan, which was the territory of Azerbaijan at the
beginning of the 20th century, to Armenia. The commission which will
be established in Parliament will study the historical documents and
the results obtained will be sent to the international organizations,
Novruzov said.
The Chairman of the Parliament supported Novruzov's proposal. The
speaker said that the Armenians not only make territorial claims with
regards to Azerbaijan, but also try to appropriate world history. "A
large part of the current territory of Armenia is the Azerbaijani
territories. However, serious scientific works are not written in this
regard and the historical facts are not presented for the attention
of the international community," he said.
