BAKU. - The number of Armenians living in Azerbaijan increases, at
least Azerbaijani statesmen claim this. The allegedly 30,000 Armenians
living throughout Azerbaijan, is not so astonishing already, however,
the number turns to be true only for the capital city.
According to Vesti.Az, a group of 30 Armenians turned to the Migration
Center of Azerbaijan recently and asked to be issued with an identity
card.
"Citizens of the Armenian nationality have been issuing identity cards
or passports for a long time. It is no more news. They are citizens
of Azerbaijan just like all and there is no logic in refusing them,"
the Ministry of Interior Affairs statement reads.
However, Azerbaijan admits that Armenians remained in Azerbaijan were
forced to change their Armenian surnames.
