"We are no longer surprised at Azerbaijani President's statements. The last statement is not exclusion," said Ashot Grigoryan, President of the Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe (FAAE).

"Speaking at a meeting of NATO in Bratislava a few years ago, Aliyev Junior said, "Armenians live in many countries of the world. Can you imagine them demanding independence for their communities in those countries?" Due to the lack of analytical mind, Mr. Aliyev is unable to realize that the right of Artsakh people to self-determination cannot be confused with the rights of Armenian communities in other countries," Ashot Grigoryan said in a statement.

"In 1918-1920, the tribe Kara-Koyunlu captured those territories and established its statehood thanks to Bolsheviks. The tribe also received Nakhichevan as a gift.

Ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide carried out in Nakhichevan over the past 100 years have become a subject of international discussions. Azerbaijan will undoubtedly answer for its misdeeds. I promise that FAAE will do its utmost to expose the ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide of Nakhichevan," reads the statement.
