Heir of Iravan Khan: 'The best gift for my birthday was to see Mount Agra in Nakhchivan, on the border of Iravan'

"The best gift for my birthday was to see Mount Agra in Nakhchivan, on the border of Iravan," Heir of Iravan Khan, Amir Ali Sardar Iravani, said, Report informs.

“I want to take this opportunity to talk about the separation of Iravan and Nakhchivan from Azerbaijan. Nakhchivan is isolated from the rest of Azerbaijan. While coming here by plane, we flew over Iravan and Goycha lake and I looked at my homeland from the sky. It was a very beautiful, but at the same time sad sight. Unfortunately, it is only possible to get here by plane. For example, I wanted to see some sides besides Araz. I was looking for an opportunity to come here through the Zangazur corridor. This was not possible. This time I came by plane, maybe next time I will be lucky,” he added.

According to him, he was invited to Iravan several times by Armenians: “Of course, it would be good to go to Iravan. But it would be very difficult for me to see the ruined homes of my ancestors. That's why the best gift for my birthday was to see Mount Agra here in Nakhchivan, on the border of Iravan. I felt how close I was to my ancestors. I can't imagine that once my ancestors galloped there and fought with their enemies. It feels good to be here.”
