BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 20. The Western
Azerbaijan Community has urged the Armenian government to honor the
right of Azerbaijanis to return, promptly halt its militarized
program, and eliminate territorial claims from the nation's
principal documents, the community said in a recent statement,
Trend
reports.
The statement highlights that in an interview with the Armenian
ARMENPRESS News Agency on December 19, 2024, Armenian Prime
Minister Nikol Pashinyan made multiple erroneous assertions
concerning the bilateral relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan,
as well as the matter of Western Azerbaijan.
The community emphasized that the Prime Minister's endeavor to
characterize the repatriation of Western Azerbaijanis to their
homeland as territorial assertions, together with his rejection of
the designation "Western Azerbaijan," is entirely baseless.
The statement indicates that the Western Azerbaijan Community is
striving to attain a peaceful return in accordance with
international legal norms and principles, encompassing the
territorial integrity and sovereignty of states.
"The community officially appealed to the Armenian government
with a proposal for dialogue. The fact that the Western
Azerbaijanis, who suffered ethnic cleansing, discrimination,
violations of property rights, and other abuses by the Armenian
government, took the first step and initiated dialogue shows that
they are supporters of reconciliation and peace. Regrettably, the
Armenian government has not responded to the community's proposal
for dialogue.
We would like to remind Nikol Pashinyan, who tries to justify
his militarization policy as a sovereign choice, that Armenia,
deeply rooted in a revisionist and radical ideology, is incapable
of handling military force responsibly. Given this and Armenia's
aggressive past, its unrestricted armament must be avoided.
The refusal of Nikol Pashinyan to exclude territorial claims
from Armenia's Constitution, as well as his statements about
alleged 'territorial claims' of Azerbaijan towards Armenia in the
Constitution, show that he is not interested in signing a peace
agreement," the statement reads.
