Ishkhan Saghatelyan, a representative of the Supreme Body of the ARF, deputy of the "Hayastan" alliance, writes: Ilham Aliyev's new statements are another evidence of the revelation of the denationalization plan of Armenia.
The statements of the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, prove once again our claims that what is being discussed is not a peace agreement, but a plan for the denationalization of Armenia.
The demands of renouncing the tools for protecting our rights, withdrawing claims from international courts, dissolving the OSCE Minsk Group, changing the Armenian constitution and the Armenian army are not aimed at establishing peace, but at destroying the Armenian factor and identity.
The announcements about the settlement program of Azerbaijanis in Armenia are also part of the logic of the implementation of this goal. Once again, let's record the simple truth that Nikol Pashinyan is afraid to voice at the negotiation table.
The issue of the return of Azerbaijanis who have settled in the territory of Armenia at different times cannot be identified and equated with the issue of restoring the rights of our compatriots forcibly displaced from Artsakh under the immediate threat of genocide.
If Azerbaijan wants to raise this issue, it should be discussed in the context of the rights of Armenians who were forcibly displaced and fled as a result of massacres in Baku and Sumgait.
The right and status of return of Artsakh Armenians should be the primary and main agenda of any negotiator guided by Armenian interests.
Only the clear promotion of the Artsakh issue in the negotiations, the persistent protection of our rights can restrain Azerbaijan's new demands and aggression.
Otherwise, the statements made by Aliyev prove once again that the end result of the plan to pacify Azerbaijan with concessions will only be new and tougher demands.
