"According to the 1979 Soviet census, which was the last census taken before the beginning of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, there were 37,264 ethnic Azeris (or 23% of the total population) living in the mainly Armenian-populated Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. Azeris constituted majority in the Shusha District with over 80% of the total population, in addition to forming between 15% and 26% of the population of the remaining four districts. The population of the regional capital of Stepanakert consisted of 11% ethnic Azeris.[1]Major Azeri settlements outside of the Shusha District includedSırxavənd, İmarət Qərvənd, Umudlu, and Çərəktar in the Mardakert District; Xocalı, Kərkicahan, Malıbəyli, Yuxarı Quşçular, Aşağı Quşçular, Cəmilli, and Meşəli in the Askeran District; Tuğ andSalaketin in the Hadrut District; and Qaradağlı, Muğanlı, Əmiranlar, and Divanlılar in the Martuni District.[2]
As result of attacks and military operations in the active phase of the conflict starting in 1991, almost all Azeris were forced to abandon their homes. There have been recorded cases of violence against Azeri civilians by Armenian militants (in Meşəli), civil casualties as a result of shelling (in Malıbəyli and Aşağı Quşçular) and burning down of entire villages (İmarət Qərvənd).[3]"
We're talking about ethnic cleansing within the last 50 years here. Azeris are right to kick up a storm about this. Pakistanis are right to back them. It's also no surprise whatsoever that the other unwelcome elephant in the room India gleefully supports those who removed 25% of N-K's population on the basis of their ethnic religious identity. This right here is the true modus operandi of such regimes.
Anyone who suggests Armenians are exclusive victims and " only Armenians got genocided" has no leg to stand on.
