OZA condemned Armenia's reaction to the diplomats' visit to Karabakh and Zangezur

The Western Azerbaijan Community strongly condemned Armenia's reaction to the recent visit of the diplomatic corps accredited in Azerbaijan to Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur, characterizing it as a display of disrespect for Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

As reported by AZERTAC, this was stated in a declaration by the Western Azerbaijan Community.

"At a time when Azerbaijan and Armenia are on the path to peace, such destructive steps deal a blow to the peace process, undermine mutual trust, and play into the hands of revanchist forces. The Western Azerbaijan Community regards this approach by Armenia as an attempt to interfere in Azerbaijan's internal affairs and a step aimed at reviving irredentism. This simultaneously demonstrates Armenia's insincerity in the peace and normalization process.

Rather than putting forward unfounded claims regarding the sovereign territories of Azerbaijan and historical topics, Armenian society should first of all pay attention to ceasing the denial, falsification, and destruction of the rich cultural and historical heritage created by the Azerbaijani people on the territory of Armenia. This would be a practical step serving the establishment of sustainable peace between the two countries and societies," the statement reads.
