Prezident İlham Əliyev.
Baku / 22.10.20 / Turan: The Armenian population of Karabakh, after its return under the control of Baku, may be granted cultural autonomy, President Ilham Aliyev said on Thursday in an interview with the Japanese edition of Nikkei.
“The Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh are our citizens. They can be sure that their safety as citizens of Azerbaijan will be ensured. They will live better after the elimination of the criminal junta in Nagorno-Karabakh,” he said.
In support of his words, Aliyev stated that “thousands of people of Armenian origin” still live in Azerbaijan, and there is an Armenian church in the center of Baku.
According to Aliyev, the Armenian population can be granted cultural autonomy similar to what exists in European countries, where residents receive "certain rights in their municipalities, in their communities." -02D-
