Armenians are aboriginal population in Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan

Armenians are not national minority in Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan. They are aboriginal population there, said Armen Abrahamyan, a philosopher and member of the national council of Western Armenians.

“Many countries of the world protect rights of aboriginal population. Our council has filed a suit to the European Court of Human Rights against Azerbaijan, which is destroying Armenian khachkars in Julfa,” Abrahamyan told a news conference in Yerevan today.

He also informed that the council will seek legal proceeding against Turkey in international organizations.
