"The barbaric Baku regime has officially declared that it demands the transfer of the sacred territory of Armenia, the very place where I am standing in this photo.
All internal calls in Armenia, the consciousness and mind of our public and elites must now become the operational agenda of this and other territories of our Motherland, excluding concessions to the enemy and taking the resulting effective steps, otherwise our state will fall into virtual paralysis, which is what it craves enemy," Voskanyan wrote.
On March 9, the office of Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Shahin Musatafayev demanded the return of 4 Armenian villages, assuring that they belong to Azerbaijan, while denying the fact of occupation of Armenian sovereign territories.
"The document states that "4 non-exclave villages of Baganis-Ayrum, Nerkin Voskepar, Kheyrimli, Kyzl Gadzhily are subject to immediate release. It is stated that "their belonging to Azerbaijan is indisputable." And the issue of "liberation" of the four "exclave villages" of Verin Voskepar, Sofulu, Barkhudarlu and Tigranashen will be resolved within the framework of the delimitation process," Azerbaijan said.
