"Why not": Aliyev raises "return-to-Yerevan" theory againApril 13, 2021 - 15:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has repeated his theory of "returning to Yerevan", the Armenian capital, one day, Azeri media reported on Tuesday, April 13. Aliyev has claimed on numerous occasions that Yerevan, the province of Syunik and Lake Sevan in Armenia are all "Azerbaijan's historic lands". Back in December 2020, U.S. Representative Jackie Speier spoke out against such remarks, describing them as "chilling", which she said "evoke Ottoman rhetoric before the Armenian Genocide." While Aliyev claimed his statements don't mean Azerbaijan has territorial claims against Armenia, he did say "we'll return there, why not?" "The time will come, we will do it. This is my position," the Azeri leader said. Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees. Friday night 8 trees were torched along the beautiful main entrance.
