    Baku systematically destroys Azerbaijan's indigenous population

    May 12, 2012 - 15:10 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - On May 8-10, Nagorno Karabakh hosted an extended
    meeting of organizing committee of international conference on
    `Indigenous people of the Caucasus-Caspian Region.

    Apart from Armenian representatives, the committee comprises science
    workers and public figures from Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Turkey,
    European countries, the U.S. and Russia.

    As Talysh delegation member Mortza Kasempuv told PanARMENIAN.Net the
    conference aims to call international community's attention to the
    rights of indigenous people residing in the Caspian region,
    particularly in Azerbaijan.

    `Iran is our homeland, where all the rights of indigenous people are
    exercised. Official Baku's policy aims to wipe all national minorities
    of Azerbaijan, Talysh, Lezgians, Avars and Udis off the face of the
    country. We were evicted from our historical lands: Lankaran, Astara,
    Masallı, Lerik and Goranboy. Azerbaijan must recognize all the nations
    residing in its territory to ensure peace,' Kasempuv said.

    `There are no Talysh schools in Azerbaijan, language and culture are
    forbidden, repression is exerted against Talysh activists,' he said.

    The Talysh-Mughan Autonomous Republic was a short-lived
    self-proclaimed autonomous republic in Azerbaijan that lasted from
    June to August 1993.

    Talysh prople speak the Talysh language, one of the Northwestern
    Iranian languages. It is spoken in the northern regions of the Iranian
    provinces of Gilan and Ardabil and the southern parts of the Republic
    of Azerbaijan.
