Azerbaijan tells UN it will treat ethnic Armenians as ‘equal citizens’

Azerbaijan promises the United Nations that it will ensure equal treatment for ethnic Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, which Baku swiftly retook after decades of separatist control.

“I wish to reiterate that Azerbaijan is determined to reintegrate ethnic Armenian residents of the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan as equal citizens,” Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov says in a speech to the UN General Assembly.
