…Our society, especially the younger generation, should never forget that the Armenian state was established on Azerbaijani territories. These are our ancestral lands. All toponyms have Azerbaijani origins. To understand this, one only needs to look at the maps prepared in the early 20th century in the Russian Empire. It is impossible to find even a single Armenian toponym there. In present-day Armenia, 80 percent of all villages carry Azerbaijani-origin names. These are our historical lands, and we will definitely return to those lands. There is no other way. This is our strategic goal, and we are working towards it, and we will continue to work towards it. Our economic, political, military strength, our demographic situation, all provide the basis for this.
