Pundit: Armenians renamed nearly 1,700 geographical locations in Western Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan has been working to reclaim its historical toponyms in Western Azerbaijan, with nearly 1,700 geographical locations in the region renamed by Armenians, according to Mugabil Bayramov, Chairman of the Azerbaijani Cartographers Public Union.

Speaking during a public discussion on the topic "Return to Western Azerbaijan," Bayramov emphasised the importance of preserving the historical memory of these lands, noting that this responsibility falls primarily on the younger generation, Caliber.Az reports per local media.

"In the past two years, two cartographic works have been prepared focusing on Western Azerbaijan," Bayramov said. "We've recently published a map of the Zangazur Corridor in both Azerbaijani and English, and demand for it has been strong. The map was even circulated in Armenian media. Our national toponyms are clearly presented in these works—historical truth cannot be denied."
