BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 15. The Western
Azerbaijan Community has condemned Armenia's sharp reaction to the
recent visit by members of the diplomatic corps to Karabakh and
East Zangezur.
This was reflected in a statement issued by the Western
Azerbaijan Community.
"We strongly condemn Armenia's harsh reaction to the recent
visit by the diplomatic corps accredited in Azerbaijan to Karabakh
and East Zangezur, and we view this as a blatant disregard for our
country's sovereignty and territorial integrity," the statement
said.
The statement emphasized that at a time when Azerbaijan and
Armenia are moving closer to peace, such destructive actions
undermine the peace process, damage mutual trust, and play into the
hands of revanchist forces.
"The Western Azerbaijan Community views this approach by Armenia
as an attempt to interfere in Azerbaijan's internal affairs and a
step aimed at reigniting irredentism. At the same time, this
demonstrates that Armenia is not sincere about the peace and
normalization process.
Instead of voicing baseless claims regarding Azerbaijan's
sovereign territories and historical matters, Armenian society
should primarily focus on putting an end to the denial, distortion,
and destruction of the rich cultural and historical heritage
created by the Azerbaijani people within the territory of Armenia.
This would be a practical step toward establishing lasting peace
between the two countries and societies," the statement pointed
out.
