From today on, when identity cards (ID) are issued for people from Western Azerbaijan through "ASAN Service", the historical names of the cities and districts where they were born will be written, said Aziz Alakbarli, the Chairman of the Board of the Western Azerbaijan Community, during the public hearing on "Toponyms of Western Azerbaijan: from distortion of history to restoration of justice" in Milli Majlis (Azerbaijani Parliament), APA reports.

"We will return to Western Azerbaijan. There is no alternative to this. Our demand from Armenia is that as people return, our toponyms must be restored. Of course, in this matter we do not completely rely on Armenia; we ourselves are taking certain steps to restore our toponyms ", emphasized the Chairman of the Community.
