  MFA: Armenian leadership

“Armenian leadership's denial of the right of Azerbaijanis to return to their native lands in a safe and dignified manner, its opposition to the call to the dialogue of the Western Azerbaijan Community, which includes hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis, to the Armenian leadership in this direction, presenting the demand for these rights as a "territorial claim" is indicative of Armenia's insidious policy of protecting “the title of a mono-ethnic state based on ethnic cleansing” that does not value “human rights”,” said head of the Press Service Department of Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry Aykhan Hajizada as he responded to the media question regarding the groundless allegations made by Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan during the press conference on March 14, 2023, AzVision.az reports. 

“It is unacceptable for the Prime Minister of Armenia to again try to intervene in the issue of dialogue with Armenian residents, to make provocative statements against the internationally recognized sovereignty of Azerbaijan over the Karabakh region and its territorial integrity, and to use expressions such as "the nation and government of Karabakh".

The fact of Armenia ignoring the position of Azerbaijan that the discussion on the reintegration of residents of Armenian origin is an internal affair of Azerbaijan and that other states have no role in this matter indicates that it has not given up the policy of aggression that it started against Azerbaijan in the early 90s under the guise of the principle of “self-determination of peoples”. The Prime Minister of Armenia should understand that the rights of the Armenian residents of the Karabakh region can never prevail over the rights of the Azerbaijani population of the region, and Azerbaijan applies and will only apply an equal approach to the different ethnic peoples living in its territory,” Hajizada emphasized.
