Aliev has inherited a presidential chair, not territories
Armenia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharian said in an interview with Interfax that statements by Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliev on ‘original Azerbaijani territories’ are a complete nonsense. In particular, Ilham Aliev said that ‘modern Armenia is founded on age-old Azerbaijani territories.”
“Aliev talks through his hat, up to now being unable to understand that he has inherited a presidential chair, but not those historical Armenian territories which for various reasons were temporary under the reign of Persian Shahs and appointed by them Khans,” Shavarsh Kocharian told Interfax.
