From the conversation of Great Leader Heydar Aliyev at the meeting with our compatriot living abroad, well-known singer Yagub Zurufcu

28 July 1999

The region of Armenia adjacent to Georgia, as well as Zangezur region were inhabited by Azerbaijanis. For example, Sisian, Gorus, Gafan districts – how they are called now in Armenia, were all part of Zangezur region. Most of the people living there were Azerbaijanis. But for some reason, autonomy was not given to Azerbaijanis at that time neither there nor elsewhere.
