ArmInfo.. Regular statements by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, affecting the sovereignty of Armenia and containing an obvious distortion of historical facts, violate the prospects for peace and security in the region.
The Ombudsman of Armenia Arman Tatoyan wrote about this on his Facebook page, adding that these statements should receive an appropriate response in order to prevent serious consequences for human rights. The Ombudsman of Armenia recalled that on April 27, 2021, the President of Azerbaijan, in particular, stated: "From a geographical point of view, Zangelan is part of Eastern Zangezur and is located in Eastern Zangezur. Western Zangezur (meaning the Syunik region of Armenia - Tatoyan's note) is also our historical land, and the Zangezur corridor will pass through this territory. " "I consider it necessary to assess such statements by the President of Azerbaijan through the prism of the continuing policy of xenophobia, gross violations of the rights to life and peace of mind, to property and other rights, as well as atrocities committed by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces during the hostilities in September-November 2020 and after them even after their completion.
Obviously, these statements create tension in the Armenian society, disrupt the normal life and peace of mind of the civilian population, and are designed to intimidate people, especially in border settlements, "Tatoyan stressed.
