Azerbaijani Official Urges Georgia To Curb Armenian Access To Black Sea

February 27, 2011

YEREVAN -- Azerbaijani Ambassador to Georgia Namig Aliyev has urged the Georgian government to restrict Armenia's economic access to the Black Sea coast and stop tens of thousands of Armenians from traveling there every year, RFE/RL's Armenian Service reports. Aliyev claimed the Armenian presence in Georgia's Black Sea region of Ajara is part of a long-term plan to annex the area. "For Armenians, access to the Black Sea means the realization of the idea of a 'Greater Armenia from sea to sea,'" Azerbaijan's APA news agency reported on February 24.

I just came across a link on Blogian's blog that directed to Anatolia pictures related to the area's Armenian past. These things make me want to cry as some of my ancestors come from Cilicia. We have to make sure that what happened to us in 1894-1921 does not happen again.
