BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 22. It is very important that historical moments are always on the agenda of diaspora organizations, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said while delivering a speech at the 5th Congress of World Azerbaijanis in Shusha on April 22, Trend reports.
“The separatist tendencies that began in the late 1980s virtually tore most of Karabakh from Azerbaijan. They started this back during the Soviet era. A special steering committee was set up and a pro-Armenian man from Moscow was appointed to head it. The subsequent events are also well-known. For two centuries, our people have gone through all this suffering and finally had their say. Finally, we have crushed the head of the enemy with an “iron fist” and restored historical justice and national dignity. Therefore, it is very important that these historical moments are always on the agenda of diaspora organizations,” said the head of state.
