“Azerbaijan demands 25,000 square meters of territory from Armenia, giving us the luxury of defeat.”

Recently, the Azerbaijani media wrote that the human rights ombudsman of Azerbaijan, Sabina Aliyeva, issued a statement demanding the 1918 recognize the events as “genocide”.

“The international recognition of genocidal crimes committed against Azerbaijanis, as well as the restoration of justice, are important to prevent the repetition of similar crimes against humanity. International organizations and UN member states should take a principled position on the systematic “ethnic cleansing and crimes of genocide” committed by Armenians against Azerbaijanis and recognize the events of 1918 as “genocide”. noted Sabina Aliyeva.

Chairman of the Assembly of Azerbaijani Armenians, expert on Azerbaijan issues Grigory Ayvazyan According to him, Armenia should talk about the genocidal acts committed by Azerbaijan, but for some reason, Azerbaijan is spreading false propaganda.

“There is a popular saying: ‘Instead of the squealing of the sel, the selvore squeals.'” Now it’s Azerbaijan’s propaganda. This has always been the case in Azerbaijan’s foreign policy and strategy, we just didn’t pay attention.

As surprising as it is, in Azerbaijan they celebrate the “day of genocide of Azerbaijanis by the Armenians” 3 times: “the events of March, when in 1918 various forces tried to raise an uprising against the Baku Commune. Then they celebrate the “Khojalu Genocide” day, they put forward this fiction in order to overshadow the Armenian Genocide in Sumgait. They also celebrate the so-called “Black January” in 1990, when they had already finished the Armenian genocide in Baku and started shouting anti-Soviet slogans, trying to massacre other minorities as well. This was also invented to overshadow the massacres in Baku.” 168.amGrigori Ayvazyan mentioned in a conversation with

The expert reminded that over the past 30 years, Azerbaijan has been preparing to take revenge against Armenians, while it was in Azerbaijan that several genocides against Armenians were carried out. In 1918, Turkish Musavatist troops entered Baku and massacred more than 30,000 Armenians, which was followed by other genocidal acts.

“All these actions were not recognized as genocide, that’s why Azerbaijan continued to commit genocide in Artsakh in 2020 and 2023 in front of the eyes of the whole world in an atmosphere of impunity.

Apart from all this, Azerbaijan has also put the problem of returning to “Western Azerbaijan” as the basis of all its strategic documents, and that means occupying all of Armenia and populating it with Azerbaijanis. We are not talking about our historical lands, instead, Azerbaijan is talking, which implies that it is time for the Armenian side to talk about it, raise its voice. “Azerbaijan carries out its anti-Armenian campaign at the highest level of the state, and the rebuttal from our side should take place at the highest level,” Grigory Ayvazyan added.

According to our interlocutor, at the moment, Azerbaijan demands at least 25 thousand square kilometers of territory from Armenia, Azerbaijan even considers Yerevan “Azerbaijani”, therefore, Azerbaijan is preparing to file lawsuits against Armenia in various international courts.

“If until now Azerbaijan has not dismantled the “strategist’s park” in Baku, it already proves that they are not preparing for peace. And when the enemy is preparing for war, you must prepare your own people to resist, to defend the country, that is, the Armenian people must be ready to resist. We can no longer afford the “luxury” of defeat, this is our only homeland, this is the only homeland of the entire Armenian nation. The question of the existence of the Armenian people is on the table,” Grigory Ayvazyan emphasized.
