Azerbaijani MP Visited the Blue Mosque in Yerevan And Called It “Azerbaijani”

Two Azerbaijani legislators attended the Euronest sessions in Yerevan, Armenian.

Tahir Mirkishili, an Azerbaijani MP, posted photos on his Facebook page and wrote:

“We visited the Blue Mosque. As far as we know, it is the only Azerbaijani monument preserved in Yerevan. Although there are writings referring to another country on its walls, its walls, its architecture, its spirit belong to us. We felt that kinship; I believe the mosque felt it, too. We believe that the true owners will soon be able to offer their prayers in this mosque,” Mirkishili wrote.

To note, the Blue Mosque is Iranian. But Azerbaijan frequently tries to “appropriate” it — among other things, to substantiate its territorial claims to Armenia.
