The following analytical plot was prepared within the framework of the West Azerbaijan Chronicle project.
“Pashinyan: We can consciously face the loss of our state”, in Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s interview on his country’s public television, “We get angry when we say Western Azerbaijan, but we do not believe that we are irritating others when we say “Western Armenia “.
These words, which have become the main topic of discussion in Yerevan’s socio-political spectrum, were reported to appear mysterious at first glance and raise a number of questions: “Pashinyan, who tries to equate the question of West Azerbaijan with the claim of “Western Armenia” tries to present the concept of Western Azerbaijan as a territorial claim of Baku against Yerevan and this is explained by the “Western Armenia” claim of the Armenians against Turkey. can come true,” the message says. Of course, this is classic Armenian cunning.”
It was noted that after Pashinian’s statement, hysteria arose in West Azerbaijan among Armenians. Thus, according to the opinions and statements of Armenian historian Hayk Paytyan, Boston-based conflict expert Artur Martirosyan, political scientist Suren Surenyants and commentator Arman Abovyan, the names of Armenian cities will soon be changed and Azerbaijani names will be used:
“Today in educational institutions theses are published in accordance with the interests of Azerbaijan and the educational program is adapted to the tasks coming from Baku under the pretense of “real Armenia.” Not only the names of Armenian cities can be changed , but also the names of Armenian cities can be changed but their historical names can be returned, that is, neither Sünik, nor Zangezur, nor Sevan, nor Goycha, nor Gegharkunik, nor Basarkecher, nor Yerevan, and this will not only be an inevitable reality, but also the restoration of historical justice will not be difficult to justify its return. Official Baku is acting according to this concept. Ilham Aliyev After Karabakh, he tries to achieve his other goal: the return of Azerbaijanis, and Pashinyan helps them in this matter, legitimizing Azerbaijan’s agenda in the Armenian public opinion. Pashinyan will comply with all of Baku’s demands and even remove Mount Agri from Armenia’s coat of arms, in accordance with Türkiye’s request. In a word, Nikol aims to make the West accept the concept of Azerbaijan with the thesis of “true Armenia.”
In the end it was highlighted that the issue of West Azerbaijan is not an option, but a reality for Armenia: “As long as the safe and dignified return of Azerbaijanis to their homes is not guaranteed, the perspective of Armenia as a State in the region will always be in doubt. Because the historical justice that has been violated in the South Caucasus for a century must be restored, only then can long-term peace come to the region. “Armenians are hysterical because they understand this reality.”
It should be remembered that the goal of the Western Azerbaijan Chronicle project is to preserve and popularize the name of our historical and ancient lands, as well as the deportation of Azerbaijanis by Armenians, place names that existed in those territories, but their names have been erased, countless examples of underground and surface material culture: ancient settlements, necropolises, mounds, remains of castles, palaces and fortifications, caravansaries, bridges, funerary chests, statues of horses and rams, The discovery of temples, churches, mosques, pyres and hearths is the transmission to the world community of the facts confirming that the area is a pure Oghuz-Turkish settlement.
Furthermore, what President Ilham Aliyev said about Western Azerbaijan: “The map dating back to the beginning of the 20th century shows once again that Western Azerbaijan is the historical land of Azerbaijan, the names of cities and towns are of Azerbaijani origin, and we know very well Well, the Azerbaijani people have lived on the territory of present-day Armenia throughout history. Now the main task is for the world community to also know it”, – is the promotion. of the tasks arising from the Concept of Return prepared by the West Azerbaijan Community. based on your opinion.
Furthermore, it aims to illuminate the thoughts of historians and researchers about Western Azerbaijan and the life history of the people who were deported.
