Russian encyclopedia mentions Armenian and Azerbaijani languages as primary in Armenia

Armenian journalists addressed an open letter to the editors of the Big Illustrated Geography Encyclopedia with a request to revise the information printed in the book.

“The encyclopedia which is sold in Armenian bookstores says that Armenian and Azerbaijani languages are primary in Armenia while the religions are Orthodox and Islam (Shiite). Moreover, it says that Artsakh is mentioned as ‘historical territory of Azerbaijan, mostly inhabited by Armenians,” Ankakh magazine editor Varduhi Ishkhanyan said.
