During today’s session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the CIS countries, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev blamed the Iranians and Armenians for the alleged collapse of 16 of the 17 mosques in Nagorno-Karabakh, adding that one mosque remained for “display of solidarity” and an attempt was made to present it as a Persian mosque through the mediation of specialists from Iran.

Aliyev stated that the stones of houses and buildings in the occupied territories have been sold in Armenia and Iran.

“There has also been great damage to nature. Nearly 60,000 hectares of forests have been deforested and sold in Armenia and Iran,” he added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
