Really? And 780,000 Azerbaijanis were helicoptered in from the Pamir Mountains?
Maybe @dlaebe @guardian could also mention countless Azerbaijani cultural heritage sites raised to the ground by Armenian separatists in and around Nagorno-Karabakh? Over 60 mosques destroyed, remaining few converted into "Persian". Once vibrant towns turned into ghost towns.
