Geghard Foundation strongly condemns anti-Armenian event in Jordan

ArmInfo.  The Geghard Scientific and Analytical Foundation issued a statement in which it strongly condemned the anti-Armenian event held in Jordan.

The statement of the foundation received by ArmInfo notes that on May  15, 2025, a conference entitled "Traces of the Cultural Heritage of  Western Azerbaijan" was organized in the capital of Jordan, Amman, at  the initiative of the Azerbaijani Embassy and the so-called "West  Azerbaijani Community".

It is noted that after the conference, an exhibition entitled  "Culture of Western Azerbaijan" was opened, which presented carpets,  clothing, weapons and armor, as well as coins from the Safavid  period, allegedly found in Yerevan.

"In his opening speech, Azerbaijani Ambassador Eldar Salimov  presented the event as an initiative to restore the cultural and  spiritual heritage of "Western Azerbaijanis," the foundation  continues.

In this regard, the Geghard Scientific and Analytical Foundation  emphasizes that it strongly condemns these measures aimed at the  international legitimization of the fabricated concept of "Western  Azerbaijan" and the appropriation of the historical and cultural  heritage of Armenia.

In the statement, the foundation calls on the international community  and interested organizations to clearly respond to such attempts,  which threaten the prospects for regional peace.

We recall that after the forcible seizure of Artsakh, amid the  silence of the international community, Azerbaijan began to promote  the narrative of annexing the entire territory of Armenia. The  Azerbaijani authorities are promoting the myth that allegedly the  entire territory of Armenia is the historical lands of Azerbaijan.  This sounds very comical, given that Azerbaijan is an artificial  entity formed in 1918, and even its name was stolen from the  Persians.
