The history of present-day Armenia has formed on Azerbaijani territories. The Iravan Khanate, the Zangezur region, are our historical lands. If we look at the map, we can see that Zangezur was separated from Azerbaijan and given to Armenia, resulting in a significant geographical division in the Turkic world. In other words, there were very negative consequences of giving Zangezur to Armenia. We do not currently claim that these territories should reunite with Azerbaijan. However, every Azerbaijani, every citizen, every child should know their history. They should know that these regions are historical Azerbaijani lands. For the resolution of this matter, of course, all factors should be taken into account. History is clear.
