On Tsarist Maps, There Is No ‘Azerbaijan’ at All — PM Pashinyan
Old maps from Tsarist Russia clearly show that no country called Azerbaijan existed at all — a fact that strongly undermines Baku’s modern territorial claims against Armenia.

During a press briefing on Thursday, Armenia’s Prime Minister referred to these maps when responding to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s latest attempt to rena

At the Orbeli Forum held in Yerevan this week, Azerbaijani analysts openly revealed what Armenia has long known — Baku’s so-called “peace agenda” is nothing but a cover for territorial ambitions and expansionist goals under the name of “unobstructed connection” to Nakhijevan.
