“We strongly reject the baseless statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia issued on 23 June 2025 regarding the “Istanbul Declaration” and the resolutions adopted at the 51st session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Armenia’s attempt to distort the content of these documents and misrepresent historical facts is yet another example of its persistent efforts to undermine the peace process and mislead the international community,” said Aykhan Hajizada, Spokersperson for Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as he commented on the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia regarding the decisions adopted at the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Istanbul, Report informs via AZERTAC.

“The resolutions adopted by the OIC, including the one titled “the Right of Return of the Azerbaijanis Forcefully and Systemically Expelled from the Territory of the Present-Day Armenia” reflect the historical facts and are grounded in international law and principles of justice. Contrary to Armenia’s claims, the systematic expulsions of Azerbaijanis from present-day Armenia were not voluntary but were marked by violence, intimidation, and gross violations of human rights. The OIC’s support for the right of return of these Azerbaijanis is a call for justice and the restoration of their fundamental rights, not a territorial claim as falsely portrayed by Armenia.
