The myth about “Azerbaijani Armenians” is one of official Baku’s propaganda instruments, an Armenian expert said.

“Azerbaijan is trying to convince the Armenian society of existence of an Azerbaijan which was once a home for Armenians,” military psychologist David Jamalyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

“One of the examples of this propaganda is the response of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to the letter of 13-year-old Karabakhi girl Adelina Hovakimyan. Pay attention to the lines saying that ‘the Azerbaijani presidential administration reads every message addressed by Azerbaijani resident’,” he said, noting, at the same time, that the letter will hardly bring any negative consequences.

On August 8, school student from NKR sent a letter to the Azeri leader to ask him why he is trying to gain control over Karabakh. Adelina Hovakimyan called on Aliyev for peace.

In his reply, Aliyev said that “Azerbaijan also wants peace and stability in the South Caucasus.” The letter also included invented “historical facts” on Karabakh’s “belonging to Azerbaijan.”
