In a recent parliamentary session, MP David Duguid brought to light a crucial yet overlooked aspect of the "Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: the displacement of over 800,000 ethnic Azerbaijanis from the region". Amidst discussions primarily centered on Armenian refugees, Duguid emphasized the urgent need to address the hardships faced by Azerbaijani populations forcibly removed from their homes, Ednews reports.
The conflict, which erupted into full-scale warfare following the independence of Armenia and Azerbaijan from the Soviet Union in 1991, often draws attention to the occupation of the region by Armenian-backed forces. However, Duguid noted the absence of discourse surrounding the significant displacement of Azerbaijanis, despite the region's international recognition as the sovereign territory of Azerbaijan.
