"I deeply respect the industrious millions of Azerbaijanis, honest and ordinary people," Russian multimillionaire German Sterligov says on his Facebook page. To note, Sterligov has recently moved to Nagorno Karabakh.
"It is my deep respect for you that makes me state the historical truth once again: Karabakh is an ancient Armenian land. Each and all ancient annals, maps, ancient cemeteries and graves testify to the fact that Karabakh is a part of the indigenous Armenian lands. Taking advantage of the lack of history awareness of the overwhelming majority of the Russian and Azerbaijani people, the mean politicians, including Leiba Bronstein-Trotsky, Kemal, Kosygin and Eldar Aliyev, were deceiving both you and us. They tore the historical territory of Armenia and installed delay-action mines for the future interethnic wars. It is no secret that the main provocateurs are thousand kilometers away from Azerbaijan and Armenia - they are in Israel and the United States," says Sterligov. Sterligov suggests opening the ancient annals to study the issue and to understand that Artsakh is the territory of historical Armenia. "I suggest opening the sources at out disposal. Have you got any ancient documents proving that Azerbaijan is right in the dispute over Karabakh? I do not know such documents. If you have any, I ask you to present them to the international community. I reiterate that the matter concerns the ancient annals, not the bribed thesis works of modern professors of "history". Dear Azerbaijani people, I urge you to conduct a peaceful and constructive dialogue. Only such an approach can save thousands of Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian lives," he says. Sterligov suggests holding "the first peaceful roundtable to study the historical documents on Karabakh at my house in the vicinities of Moscow or at my house in Shushi. It is for you to decide where to meet. I guarantee the security of Azerbaijani guests in both places." To note, Sterligov has recently moved to Nagorno-Karabakh with his family, because "there are awesome people and awesome living principles" in Artsakh. He refutes the information that he has fled the Russian justice and that he has any relations with nationalist circles. He says he has been persecuted since his book "From Adam to Putin" was published. To prove that he has no problems with justice, Sterligov has left his family in Karabakh and has gone to Russia for a few days. However, a criminal case had been instituted against him there. A citizen of Israel accuses him of injuriousness.
