YEREVAN (YERKIR) – Azerbaijan’s Way political movement has created an
initiative group to return “western Azeris, expelled from Armenia,
to their native lands and providing autonomy to them.”

Leader of the movement Ilgar Gasymov reported, ”in 1948-53 and 1988
over one million Azeris were expelled from Armenia.” ”We plan to
hold mass actions worldwide from April 24 to May 8. Turkish and Jewish
organizations will support the events,” he remarked.

Gasymov also reported that signatures will be collected and Azeri
representatives in the PACE will present those documents. Fazil
Gazanfaroglu and others considered “return of Azeris deported from
Armenia” as a demand of the day.

Gazanfaroglu reported he will submit the issue in the Milli Mejlis
agenda.

To note, the statement on ”return of western Azeris, deported from
Armenia, to their native lands and providing autonomy to them,”
drawn by Azerbaijan’s Way movement, is sent to the Azeri leader,
Speaker and FM, reports Trend.
