The president of Azerbaijan again presents territorial demands to Armenia. Ilham Aliyev spoke about it today during his visit to the office of the “West Azerbaijan” community in Baku.

The Azerbaijani authorities call the Syunik region of the Republic of Armenia “Western Azerbaijan”.

“Western Azerbaijan is our historical territory. This is evidenced by many historical documents, historical maps, and our history,” Aliyev stated during a meeting with intellectuals.

“Unfortunately, Armenians leveled and destroyed all our historical and religious monuments in Western Azerbaijan. However, the historical maps displayed in this building prove that Western Azerbaijan is a historical Azerbaijani territory, and the names of the cities and villages there are of Azerbaijani origin. I am sure that a day will come when West Azerbaijanis, their children, and grandchildren will return to their native lands with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm. There are many factors to claim this. The main one among them is the historical memory of our people,” Aliyev said.
