    AZERBAIJANI GOVERNING PARTY INFORMS PUBLIC OF OCCUPATION OF ANCIENT AZERBAIJANI LANDS BY ARMENIANS

    Trend News Agency, Azerbaijan
    Feb 7 2008

    Azerbaijan, Baku, 7 February / Òrend corr S. Ilhamgizi / Azerbaijan's
    governing New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) informed the public how the
    Armenian state was established on the ancient Azerbaijani lands. A
    round table on the subject of 'Main Purposes of Fighting against
    Armenia's Provocations in Armenian-Azerbaijani Conflict' took place
    on 6 February and was organized by the NAP.

    "The historical facts cited by President Ilham Aliyev about the
    establishment of a state by the Armenians in the ancient Azerbaijani
    land, about turning the ancient Irevan khanate into their capital
    Yerevan should be publicized on a wide scale," the Executive Secretary
    and the Deputy Chairman of the NAP Ali Ahmaov said.

    "During the last 200 years the Armenians committed the most serious
    international crimes, namely occupation, ethnic cleansing and
    falsification of historical facts," he said.

    "Ilham Aliyev's statements that Armenians came to the Azerbaijani
    territory as guests are proved by historical facts. The manuscripts
    about migration of Armenians to the Azerbaijani land are kept
    in archives," the Director of the Historical Institution in the
    Azerbaijani National Academy of Sciences Yagub Mahmudov said.

    "The resettlement of Armenians to North Azerbaijan began after the
    Turkmenchay agreement was signed. In 1828, an Armenian province was
    established in the Azerbaijan land. A total of 1,114 villages out
    of the 1,125 which were given to the Irevan province were entirely
    Azerbaijani. Historical documents say that in 1886 Azerbaijanis
    comprised 86.5% of the population in the Irevan province," Mahmudov
    said.

    "In 1978, Armenians in the Agdara region of Azerbaijan erected a
    monument to the 100th anniversary of their resettlement in that land.

    Later, when they realised that this historical fact would be used
    against them they removed the monument," he said.
