Bakour Karapetyan calls on Ilham Aliyev to stop distorting historical facts

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian writer of political essays Bakour Karapetyan appealed to the President of Azerbaijan with a direct letter. In the message addressed to PanARMENIAN.Net it is particularly stated that the Armenian writer received a warm welcome by the border guards at Julfa Customs. "Taking the opportunity, I suggest soothing the passions of your historians and not letting them falsify or distort the history of the peoples living in the territory of Azerbaijan, namely: the Talysh, Kurds, Lezghins, Avars, Persians, and Armenians." The falsification of the history as we have all become convinced of worsens the stability in the region, causes an atmosphere of intolerance and hostility among the neighbouring countries," Karapetyan emphasized. He also said that Azeri people can feel free to visit Yerevan. "We will show them the medieval sources that give evidence about the history of the peoples living in the territory of today's Azerbaijan. Your people, particularly the Talysh, living in Azerbaijan and Iran, and also the Lezghins and Avars, part of which are in Russia now, have the right to know their true history," as is stated in the letter addressed to the president of Azerbaijan.
