To establish peace in the Caucasus, it is necessary to pay attention to both parties. About this on the social network X (previously Twitter) was written by Assistant President Azerbaijan Hikmet Gadzhiev.
“This region of Azerbaijan – Karabakh – was occupied by neighboring Armenia for 30 years. And after a brutal war in the early 1990s, as a result of which almost 1 million Azerbaijanis were expelled from their native lands, they were subjected to ethnic cleaning, occupation Armenian Forces were mined thousands of square meters of this territory, with the exception of a small point in its center. The community of ethnic Armenians remaining in this territory of Azerbaijan was connected with Armenia the only land route – the Lacchinsky road, ”Gadzhiev recalled.
He noted that “this gray zone of lawlessness and anti-personnel mines” existed and was not disputed by anyone until Azerbaijan returned most of the territory of Karabakh during a 44-day conflict.
