Aliyev declares Karabakh, Armenia 'historical Azeri lands'

BAKU. July 20

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has called on the public and media
of the country to intensify their efforts to communicate to the global
community Baku's position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

"Not only Nagorno-Karabakh, but also today's territory of Armenia are
historical Azeri lands. One cannot compare the weak Armenia to the
strong Azerbaijan. Our only weak point was the mass media," Aliyev
said on Thursday.

He called on the Azeri state structures, public organizations and the
mass media to intensify the work on reporting on Baku's position on
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "It is necessary to have unified
policies on this matter and these policies should be reinforced," the
president said.
