Western Azerbaijan program fiction without international basis -  Arman Tatoyan 

ArmInfo.  The "Western Azerbaijan" program is fictitious; it's a plan to seize Armenia that  has no international basis. This was stated in a video address by  Armenia's ex- ombudsman and head of the "Wings of Unity" civic  initiative, Arman Tatoyan, addressing the Armenian prime minister's  statement that he proposes that Baku close the issue of the return of  Armenians to Nagorno-Karabakh and the "Western Azerbaijan" issue.

He emphasized that there is no international platform or court where  Azerbaijan could successfully appeal this issue. "Ilham Aliyev is  well aware of this. The return of Artsakh residents is enshrined  internationally as a right, and Azerbaijan has specific obligations,"  Tatoyan said. As the former ombudsman noted, the International Court  of Justice affirmed that Azerbaijan is obligated to ensure the  dignified and safe return of the Artsakh people to Nagorno-Karabakh.  This has also been stated by the United States, Canada, the EU  Council, and others.

"Aliyev is trying to humiliate the entire Armenian people. His  problem is the Armenian people. He is on a historical mission -  trying to show that there was no Armenia and no Armenian identity.  But there is no international basis for all this.

Dear compatriots, do not be sad. There are international mechanisms,  mediators, our Diaspora - we support each other, and we will put  everything in its place. As soon as Nikol Pashinyan becomes former,  we will resolve these issues," Tatoyan noted.
