Azerbaijani diaspora in Egypt highlights Armenia’s aggression
The head of the Azerbaijani diaspora in Egypt, scientist Seymur Nasirov, gave an interview to Muhammad al-Leysi, a reporter of the “Zatmasr” website, in which he spoke about Armenia’s aggressive policy and territorial claims.
Nasirov stressed that when Azerbaijan’s territory is compared with historical Arab sources, it becomes clear that today’s borders cover less than ten percent of the country’s historical lands. Citing the works of the medieval geographer Ibn al-Faqih al-Buldan, he noted that many Azerbaijani cities are mentioned in ancient texts. He recalled that before the Soviet era, Azerbaijan’s territory was 113.9 thousand square kilometers, while today it is only 86.6 thousand square kilometers — a clear result of aggression against the Azerbaijani people.
The scientist also informed the Egyptian audience about the missile attacks on Ganja, Azerbaijan’s second-largest city, which caused civilian casualties.
He underlined that despite UN, OIC, and other international documents demanding the withdrawal of Armenian forces from Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent regions, Armenia used peace negotiations for nearly 30 years merely to preserve the status quo. In contrast, Nasirov emphasized, Azerbaijani soldiers are fighting on their native land and achieving victories for a just cause.
