Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 29 / Trend E. Mehdiyev /
Armenians must be aware that the Armenian leadership will make them
refugees in other countries, Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister and
Chairman of the State Committee for Work with Refugees and IDPs Ali
Hasanov said at an event dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the
Zangilan occupation by Armenia.
"They must know they are temporarily living on historical Azerbaijani
lands," he said. "However, they continue to claim our lands and settle
there. This injustice will never remain unpunished."
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said at the inauguration ceremony
that not only the territory of Nagorno- Karabakh, but former historic
lands of Azerbaijan such as Zangezur and Gokce will be released over
time, Hasanov said.
"We are sure because the last presidential election showed once again
that the Azerbaijani people support their president and this nation
united around him," he stressed.
Twenty years have passed since the occupation of the Azerbaijani
Zangilan region by Armenian Armed Forces.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since
1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding
districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
