Azeri claims of Karabakh historical belonging threaten regional
security - Armenian diplomat
YEREVAN. Dec 25
The statement of Azeri President Ilham Aliyev that the contemporary
Republic of Armenia lies on historical Azeri lands is a territorial
claim, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharian said on
Tuesday.
"Straightforward territorial claims to Armenia, which has a history of
at least 3,000 years, by a country that appeared on the world map less
than a hundred years ago is more evidence of the agony of the
authoritarian regime in Azerbaijan," the diplomat said.
Aliyev said on Monday, "Historic justice tells us that Karabakh is a
native land of Azerbaijan; the Azeri people have been living here for
centuries. Karabakh is not our only land. The contemporary Republic of
Armenia lies on historical Azeri land."
"A lie passed for justice endangers security of the entire region,
primarily the people of Azerbaijan," Kocharian said.
