Nakhijevan is historical part of Armenia --
``ARFD claims no need to yield be it Turkey or Azerbaijan. We say Karabakh is a state and not an autonomous region. We claim we will not return the liberated lands unless we are returned our legal lands. Do not forget that Nakhijevan is a historical part of Armenia, while we are obliged to struggle for the rights of the Javakhk Armenians (in Georgia) and the realization of the national language and culture there,'' Armenian News-NEWS.am quotes Rustamyan.
``Nagorno-Karabakh is an ancient land of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijanis have always lived there. All historical monuments and names of places belong to Azerbaijan. It is an integral part of our history and culture,'' President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in an interview to the Business Year magazine devoted to the 20th anniversary of Azerbaijan`s independence.
