Hovhannisyan admits that the Azerbaijani population of Zangezur, which we call Western, was subjected to ethnic cleansing, as he writes in his book:
“Zangezur, which included: Kafan, Sisian, actually Zangezur and Arevik-Genvazi. Fierce battles between Armenians and Azerbaijanis took place here, as a result of which not a single Azerbaijanis remained in Zangezur: they all moved either to Nakhichevan or to Armenian villages Azerbaijan, which were left by the Armenians. “
