Western Azerbaijan Community urges Armenia to stop attempts to interfere in Azerbaijan's internal affairs

“The unfounded campaign in Armenia regarding the recent visit of foreign diplomats to Azerbaijan's liberated territories shows no signs of slowing down. Such reactions, which undermine the peace and normalization process between the two countries, show that Armenian society still has serious reservations about completely abandoning the malicious "miatsum" policy, recognizing Azerbaijan's sovereignty, and living in peaceful neighborliness. The "Real Armenia" concept put forward by the Armenian authorities is experiencing a serious crisis,” the Western Azerbaijan Community said in a statement.

“In recent days, we have once again seen the resurgence in Armenian society of approaches based on fabricated history, false claims of ancient origins, and national exceptionalism. Denying the history and culture of the Azerbaijani people, who have a long history and rich cultural heritage, is a fundamentally wrong and dangerous policy.

As President Ilham Aliyev emphasized while receiving religious figures from several foreign countries on September 15, the Azerbaijani people have given many brilliant personalities, poets, and thinkers to world culture, including Nizami Ganjavi, Khagani Shirvani, Imadaddin Nasimi, Seyid Yahya Bakuvi, Shah Ismail Khatai, and Muhammad Fuzuli.

It was precisely such poisonous ideology and approaches pushed Armenia toward the "miatsum" policy, particularly over the past 30 years, and paved the way for the deportation of Western Azerbaijanis from Armenia, the occupation of Azerbaijani territories, and the deliberate destruction of cultural heritage, including mosques. The consequences of this policy for the Armenian state and the Armenian people are clear to everyone.

The Western Azerbaijan Community called on Armenian society not to repeat past mistakes, to end attempts to interfere in Azerbaijan's internal affairs, to fully recognize the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to refrain from provocative actions that regularly cause justified dissatisfaction in Azerbaijan,” the Community added.
