/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijanis do live in Armenia and
their number is rather big, Hranush Kharatyan, head of
the department on national minorities and religion at
the RA government. She said she knows the exact number
of Azeris living in Armenia but refused to make it
public noting that, according to the UN Convention,
she has no right to make public information on the
number of a national community that can be in
jeopardy. Meanwhile Ms. Kharatyan remarked that Azeris
live both in Yerevan and regions. `Some of them do not
conceal their nationality,' said she adding that many
of them arrived in Armenia with their Armenian
husbands. At that Ms Kharatyan informed that Azeris in
Armenia have not expressed wish to form a community,
reports IA Regnum.
Last week Tahir Taghizade, the head of the department
of information policy and press Azerbaijani, said
Armenia cannot `boast presence of one Azeri on its
territory.'
