During the latest session organized by the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS), President Ilham Aliyev stated that “It is enough to look at early-20th-century maps published by Tsarist Russia to see that the overwhelming majority of toponyms in what is now Armenia are of Azerbaijani origin.” He went on to claim that there was “no Lake Sevan” but “Lake Goycha… along with all other Azerbaijani historical toponyms we use.”
Subsequently, he added, “We did not compile those maps for someone to say that we are falsifying something here. Tsarist Russia did this. The same Tsarist Russia that once brought Armenians from Iran and Eastern Anatolia and settled them in our Karabakh land so that the ethnic and religious composition would change here.”

First of all, Ilham Aliyev the chicken-hawk son of the late KGB agent Heydar Aliyev whose army we wiped out in utmost humiliating fashion and whom we brought to his knees in front of coward Ilham’s eyes is delusional and is suffering from inferiority complex. His bold-faced lies and history fabrications are a manifestation of his lack of ability to digest that humiliating defeat they suffered at the hands of victorious Armenians back in 1994. Imagine how delusional one belonging to a former tribe of sheep herders with an artificial state invented 107 years ago in 1918 on occupied historic Armenian territories, that is the dictatorship of Azerbaijani petrostate, has to be to make such empty claims against the ancient Armenian nation with well-known and world-renowned Armenian kingdoms dating back to 6th century BC! He is a sore loser and his artificial state totally irrelevant in world affairs in absence of the Caspian oil and gas resources. Given his tribe and artificial terrorist cesspool totally unknown to the world, he should thank the Armenians for putting his artificial state on the map as a result of their defeat and humiliation at the hands of the Armenians right after the collapse of the now-defunct Soviet empire! I laugh at this pseudo-Turkish fool!
P.S. The Sevan Lake has always been Sevan Lake except in his imagination and fabricated rewritten fake history which itself was proposed, initiated and ordered to his artificial state’s racist anti-Armenian thieves disguised as fraudulent historians. If one can misappropriate someone else’s property and claim it as his own by giving it a false name and using his own twisted logic, what then is the ancient Armenian province of Nakhichevan with purely and authentically original Armenian name still doing under Azerbaijani occupation? For those who don’t know, Nakhichevan (Նախիջեվան or Նախիջևան) in Armenian means: The Original Resting Place of Noah’s Ark. Nakh-iche-van in which Nakh (Նախ) = Primary/Original; iche (իջե from the verb իջել) = To descend/Come to rest; van (վան) = Place/Region.
Can the supporters of Pashinyan and of this so-called “peace agreement” explain what “benefits” and “safeguards” Armenia has “gained” and what “peace” has been “established”, when Aliyev constantly expresses provocative Azerbaijani irredentist rhetoric against Armenia, constantly threatens Armenia with war, occupies 200 square kilometers of Armenian territory, holds many Armenians as hostages in Baku prisons and engages in a cultural Armenian Genocide in Artsakh which he violently ethnically cleansed of all Armenians?
