Aliyev: talent of Yerevan and Zangezur to Armenians was great crime against our people

And then there were, and today there are those who are trying to explain the talent of Yerevan to the Armenians, said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at a meeting with a group of intelligentsia from Western Azerbaijan.

“But I believe that no explanations can be accepted, because the Armenians were not content with this,” said the head of state.

.

As Aliev noted, those who thought that the Armenians would be content with this made a big mistake: “The further course of history showed this again. In 1920, by decision of the Soviet government and at the insistence of Armenian nationalists, they separated from Azerbaijan and attached to Armenia and our other historical land – Zangezur.

This was the following crime against our people. The purpose of this decision was also completely clear. Firstly, Armenian nationalists held important posts in the Soviet government. On the other hand, it was a step towards the separation of Azerbaijan from Nakhchivan and Turkey from a geographical point of view, ”he said.
