'Armenians are not indigenous people in these lands and they never
made up majority not only in Nakhchivan, but also in Yerevan'.
The statement came from academician at Azerbaijan National Academy of
Sciences Vali Aliyev while commenting on Armenian leader's remarks for
Euronews that 'Armenians used to live in Nakhchivan in large numbers.
But later the correlation between the number of populations were
changed and no Armenian were left there.'
'Yerevan which is populated by Armenians now is a historical land
of Turks. Simply, public and political processes in the region back
1918-1920 made their positions stronger. They still want to have
Nakhchivan. At that time the Czarist Russia were using them for its
own purposes by misleading them. The Czarist Russia was seeking to
gain foothold in the South Caucasus. They were trying to control
processes with the help of Armenians,' Aliyev added.
'The Armenians failed to understand that they these lands belonged
to Turks.'
The academician said the time will come when Armenians will understand
that they have made gross mistakes.
'But then it will late. The historical and cultural monuments in
Yerevan that Armenians introduce to the world belong to Turks. The
traces of Turks are still very well visible in every village, district
there,' the academician noted.
