According to Tatoyan’s sources, Baku demands ensuring the safety of West Azerbaijanis with the guarantee of a foreign mission. “Armed forces from the country that is an ally of Azerbaijan and enjoys their trust should be deployed in Armenia. Since Azerbaijan does not trust Armenia, at some stage the ‘West Azerbaijanis’ themselves should have the opportunity to organize their own security by creating armed units,” he wrote.

Additionally, Azerbaijan demands ensuring the right of Western Azerbaijanis to education in the Azerbaijani language, Tatoyan claimed.

“These proposals are new developments of the West Azerbaijan occupation concept, which are based on absolute lies that cannot be ignored. Moreover, various Azerbaijani official sources state that the number of those subject to return is 300,000. These points show that the peace building intention of the Azerbaijani authorities is false, it is a veil for the outside world. In fact, a policy of occupying Armenia is being pursued. It's just done under humanitarian guise,” Tatoyan wrote.
