Organization of Islamic Cooperation making territorial claims on  Armenia 

ArmInfo. For the first time, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has supported the right  of "systematically and forcibly expelled" Azerbaijanis "to return" to Armenia. This is stated by political scientist Karen Igityan.

He stated that this demand was voiced following the 51st session of  the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in Turkey, where the so-called  "Istanbul Declaration" and five resolutions put forward by Azerbaijan  were adopted.

According to him, this happened while the whole world was watching  the US strikes on Iran. "In addition, Armenia was called upon to  remove obstacles to signing a peace treaty. The OIC also condemned  Yerevan's refusal to engage in dialogue with the "Western Azerbaijan  Community", condemned "acts of genocide" (Khojaly, etc.), "Armenia's  aggression", "the destruction of Islamic cultural monuments" by  Armenia, and so on and so forth.

And Aliyev's ruling colleagues in Armenia say that Azerbaijan, they  say, simply wants to move along the roads. What Azerbaijan has wanted  since 1919 is on the map below. And that's not all," the expert  added.  In turn, opposition member of the Armenian parliament from  the "I have the honor" faction Tigran Abrahamyan stated that the  first "flowers" of Pashinyan's visit to Turkey have begun to emerge.  In particular, according to him, they were outlined at a meeting of  the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic  Cooperation in Istanbul, where, at the initiative of Azerbaijan, a  document called the "Istanbul Declaration" and 5 resolutions were  adopted, which also mentioned Armenia. "This declaration enshrined  the "right of return of forcibly displaced Azerbaijanis" to Armenia  (presented in the document as "Western Azerbaijan"). Moreover,  Armenia was called upon to remove obstacles that would allow it to  sign the peace treaty.

In the context of the refusal of the Armenian ruler to protect the  rights of the Artsakh people and, in particular, the collective  return and the issue of the occupied territories of Armenia,  Azerbaijan puts the term "Western Azerbaijan" on the international  agenda, which includes a significant part of today's Armenia.

Moreover, in the context of Azerbaijan's insatiable ambitions in the  negotiation process, the failure to sign the document also hits  Armenia. The government has driven the country into a Turkish trap,  where Armenia's only role is to simply obey and endure the slaps it  receives," the MP concluded.
