    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.
