“Is the problem of Azerbaijani refugees new, and Azerbaijan did not know that there are Azerbaijani refugees? The number of Armenians who became refugees from Azerbaijan is about 400,000, from Baku, Kirovabad, Sumgait, Shahumyan, Getashen… these are the figures of the United Nations and which are not talked about today. If you are a competent government, you will demand from the international courts that the problem be considered fully and impartially. At that time, it will be clear that Azerbaijan is obliged to compensate the Armenian refugees, and this should not include the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, who must return to Artsakh and fully exercise their right to self-determination.” “Pressing” Tigran Torosyan, doctor of political science, former chairman of the RA National Assembly, said in the program.
According to him: Azerbaijan used to talk about one million refugees, but it was quickly revealed in international courts that their number is 8,600. Azerbaijan was just embarrassed… On any issue we have strong arguments to show that we have counter-arguments on any issue raised by Azerbaijan.
“Azerbaijan does not need to recognize the territorial integrity of Armenia, who is Azerbaijan to recognize or not to recognize, it just needs to respect the UN charter, which states that UN member states are obliged to recognize and respect each other’s territorial integrity,” said the former deputy speaker of the National Assembly.
The latter noted that international law will return to its place, because humanity cannot throw away regulatory norms, considering the relations and conflicts of so many states.
“I especially want to say that the people of Artsakh will return to Artsakh and achieve the recognition of their self-determination, only on one condition, in case of appropriate professional work,” concluded Tigran Torosyan.
