"When were the Armenian people transferred to our lands? We all know this perfectly well. When were they transferred to Karabakh? When were they transferred to Zangazur? Who were they transferred by? How and for what purpose? We know all this very well," said President Ilham Aliyev at a meeting with a group of intellectuals from Western Azerbaijan, APA reports.
"They never had a state in this territory, in the South Caucasus. If it ever happened – and it is not yet clear whose state they want to claim to be their own – it happened somewhere else. Therefore, we must present them in a focused and organized manner, in a correct form. And I am sure we will achieve that," noted the head of state.
"In parallel with this, I believe that we should also work on a concept of return to Western Azerbaijan together. Now that the Karabakh conflict has been resolved, this is the issue on our agenda. Of course, it was probably premature to talk about it before the Karabakh conflict was resolved. But I think we should not waste any time now. A Concept of Return should be developed. Again, it should be a peaceful concept, as they say. We should proceed from the provisions of all international conventions that are acceptable to us and seek our rights on the basis of that. There must be a Concept of Return," said the President Ilham Aliyev.
