“The road on which we stand is the Basarkechecheke-Kelbajar road laid by Armenians. They laid the second road to connect Armenia with Karabakh. In addition to the Lachin Corridor. They paved it in order to facilitate entry and exit and thus cast Kelbajar Other territories. ” As AzerTaj reports, this was stated by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the national flag exaltation ceremony in the city of Kelbajar.

“This road directly leads to the Basarkchecheche district. It is called in Armenia. It is called the Varden district. But the real name of this area and the region is Basarkener. This is Mahal Gayach, the ancient Azerbaijani land. In 1930, the Basarkecheche district was created in Armenia. Absolute majority His inhabitants were Azerbaijanis. Including residents of the village Zod were also the Azerbaijanis. They were deported. Only in June 1969, Armenia had renamed the Basarkech district and called him Vardenis. I ask, in the reports and in general, in our vocabycle should not be used by Vardenis, but Restored the name Basarkechecher, “said the president.
