ArmInfo. It's already clear that, with the help of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani special forces and trained groups will very "peacefully" arrive and settle in Armenia. Expert in Azerbaijani studies Tatevik Hayrapetyan shared this "prospect."
"This, unfortunately, is already obvious, and those who want to sit on the throne and wait for success, or who still want to convince themselves that there are things Pashinyan is incapable of, will one day simply pack their bags and leave for another country.
As long as we can preserve and protect our country through political means, let's do so, and the way to do this is to remove Pashinyan from power. Only an Armenian citizen living in Armenia can do this with their clear attitude, position, and voice," Hayrapetyan wrote on social media. To support his assertion, the expert quotes verbatim from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's speech today, noting that "this topic is gaining unprecedented popularity in Azerbaijan, and the ensuing silence from the Republic of Armenia is in itself quite telling..."
Thus, in his address to participants of the 3rd International Conference on "Cultural Heritage and the Right to Return: Restoring the Cultural Heritage of Azerbaijanis Expelled from Armenia as a Path to Justice, Reconciliation, and Peace," Aliyev stated that "the Azerbaijani people, with their ancient history of statehood, have repeatedly faced deprivation, deportation, and genocide over the past two centuries." He noted that "as a result of the massacres and illegal displacements committed against Azerbaijanis in 1905- 1907, 1918-1921, 1948-1953 and 1987-1991, after the resettlement of Armenians to their ancestral Azerbaijani lands, hundreds of thousands of our compatriots were forced to leave their homelands and find refuge in Azerbaijan."
The Baku leader went even further, stating that the alleged "forced displacement of Azerbaijanis living in Armenia, the appropriation of their property, the seizure, destruction, and alienation of examples of material culture are historical facts, confirmed by reliable documents." "It is extremely important to take the necessary steps to assess Armenian crimes against humanity against Azerbaijanis within the framework of international law and the support of the international community in this matter," Ilham Aliyev emphasized.
The Azerbaijani leader emphasized the importance of "intensifying efforts to ensure the return of Azerbaijanis forcibly expelled from Armenia, within the framework of the right of return enshrined in international law."
"Remember, this is coming from a dictator who unleashed wars, blockades, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement against Artsakh and Armenia and did everything to establish 'peace' in Artsakh without Armenians," wrote Azerbaijani scholar Tatevik Hayrapetyan.
