Elmar Mammadyarov informed Ban Ki-moon about Armenia's efforts to
illegally change the demographic, cultural and physical character of
the occupied territories of Azerbaijan
Baku. Victoria Dementyeva - APA. Azerbaijan's Minister of Foreign
Affairs Elmar Mammadyarov has sent a letter to Secretary General of
the United Nations Ban Ki-moon regarding the situation in the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan, APA reports. In the letter dated July 19,
I have already informed you that Armenia, taking advantage of the
ceasefire regime, continues to undertake efforts to illegally change
the demographic, cultural and physical character of the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan, including but not limited to establishing
new settlements, restoring the airport, building residential areas,
highways, etc: "Armenia falsifies and illegally changes the original
toponyms in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. According to
mass media reports, Armenia also is about to start the construction
of a 150-apartment building in Qubadly (Azerbaijan), as well as the
Kalbajar (Azerbaijan) to Vardanis (Armenia) highway. Both Qubadly and
Kalbajar are occupied districts located beyond the Nagorno-Karabakh
region of Azerbaijan."
Mammadyarov noted that Armenia continues its illegal policy of transfer
and resettlement of Syrian Armenians in the occupied territories
of Azerbaijan. Our reliable sources confirm that most recently 24
Armenian families have been resettled in Lachin, 7 in Zangilan, and 27
in Kalbajar (the list of resettled persons is enclosed). Additional
18 Armenian families from Syria will soon be transferred into the
occupied territories of Azerbaijan: "This demonstrates the real
intention of Armenia, which uses the humanitarian catastrophe in Syria
for consolidation of its occupation of Azerbaijani territories. By
abusing the negotiation process and carrying out illegal activities
in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, Armenia attempts to impose
a fait accompli, thus undermining the prospects of a negotiated
settlement of the conflict and restoration of peace and security in
the region. In the light of the lack of progress in the negotiation
process the illegal actions in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan
reveal Armenia's destructive position aimed at annexation of these
territories."
