Edward Nalbandyan: Azerbaijan try not to leave any trace of Armenia’s presence in Nakhijevan

YEREVAN, APRIL 29, ARMENPRESS:

During the recent six years the Azerbaijanis do not allow representatives of international organizations visit Nakhijevan, Foreign Affairs Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian said today at a joint news conference with the EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy Stefan Fule. This statement came after the Azerbaijani authorities did not permit Matthew Bryza visit Jougha's Armenian cemetery. "If they did not permit it means they have something to hide", the minister said.

According to Nalbandian, the whole international community still in 2005 witnessed how Azerbaijanis were trying to annihilate the Armenian cultural heritage in Nakhijevan, not to leave any trace of Armenia's presence in Nakhijevan.

"And so what? What will they say? Will they say Nakhijevan was their territory since Noah's times? Who will believe them?"
