Method and coverage · Show more

Claims record what the source asserts; demands record what it asks others to do. Both labels may apply to one publication. Recording them does not confirm the assertion or recognize an entitlement.

This reviewed set brings together catalog entries, heritage publications and selected explicit passages from the source and wording registers. It is not an exhaustive count of every claim in the archive. Each publication is counted once under a primary topic.

Publications containing both appear in each section; the totals overlap.

Folklore launch and return demand

Göyçayda “Qərbi Azərbaycan folkloru” çoxcildliyinin VI cildinin təqdimatı keçirilib

At the folklore launch, Alakbarli asserts a return entitlement and calls for its implementation through international law.

The entitlement and implementation demand are attributed to the speaker, not independently recognized by this monitor. The volume’s reported size and future publishing plans do not add new institutions or heritage targets.

Claim and demand

Alakbarli makes the return campaign the sole condition for lasting peace and alleges Armenian war intentions.

Return campaign made a condition of peace

Əziz Ələkbərli: Ermənistan 44 günlük müharibənin dərslərindən qətiyyən nəticə çıxarmayıb

In a distinct AZERTAC interview reproduced by WAC, the chair uses hostile collective language about Armenians and claims nonimplementation of the return campaign proves an intention to renew war.

Separate from the Moderator interview published by WAC at 10:08 the same day. This 09:35 article predicts harm by Armenians; it does not itself announce harm by WAC or Azerbaijan and should not add another threat count.

Claim and demand

Alakbarli calls for recognition of WAC’s asserted return entitlement within the Armenia–Azerbaijan peace agenda.

Facebook heritage campaign concerning Arates monastery

Qərbi Azərbaycanda tarixi abidələrimiz – Ayısəsi məbədi

The Facebook post calls Arates monastery Albanian and alleges that restorations in 1955–1960 altered its appearance and added crosses. These are attributed source assertions.

The post presents the monastery as Albanian and alleges alterations during 1955–1960; those are source claims. National tourism material independently identifies Arates monastery in Vayots Dzor. The linked AZERTAC page's exact publication time was not verified.

Alakbarli alleged that Armenians appropriated non-Muslim religious monuments and destroyed Azerbaijani heritage in present-day Armenia, while describing recognition of the community’s return demands as relevant to peace.

Speech substance is reproduced by Report and the matching WAC post is listed on its homepage. The allegations and historical interpretation are not independently verified. This is a source record from the same 2 November presentation.

Attributed to his AZERTAC comments republished by WAC. UNESCO correspondence and Armenia’s response were not independently retrieved; the item establishes the speaker’s stated request and allegation, not their external verification.

Joint presentation of History of the Iravan Qaziyat

80 Claimed sites and site groups

One count per named site, complex or target group. Repeated articles, drawings and component entries do not add new targets.

Counting notes

Church-related sites include mixed complexes containing a church. They are not a count of individual church buildings.

Two Demirbulaq mosque entries have unresolved identities; this total is not an independently verified count of unique physical sites.

Heritage charts count each named target once, in its earliest source-record month. Catalog dates are estimates from image filenames, not confirmed publication dates.

Counts record what the sources claim; they do not endorse those claims.

The six heritage statements add no new named physical target beyond the catalog.

Azerbaijan’s Batumi consulate republishes an article promoting WAC and pressure on Armenia.

Georgian-language consular promotion

The Georgian article identifies WAC, repeats succession and historic-land claims, and asks international bodies to pressure Armenia. Official consulate page dated 23 June 2025 links an underlyingTV 12 article. This is diplomatic dissemination about WAC, not a WAC-issued statement or proof of legal succession. Do not put it in core WAC threat/activity totals without a separate attribution rule.

WAC supervisory chair’s territorial assertions

Qərbi azərbaycanlılar siyahıya alınacaq - Arxiv yaradılır

In a direct interview as WAC supervisory-council chair, Mardanov describes new premises and archive plans and asserts that Yerevan, Zangezur and Qaraqoyunlu are “ours”.

An attributed territorial assertion, not an established title to territory. The announced facilities are not treated as opened, and no building-conveyance date is inferred.

Claim

The association chair labels all 29,800 square kilometres of Armenia historical Azerbaijani land.

All Armenian territory claimed as ancestral land

Hədəfimiz İrəvan, Göyçə, Zəngəzur, bütövlükdə Qərbi Azərbaycandır! - MÜSAHİBƏ

In a 2019 interview identifying him with both association names, he says the campaign continues until every claimed part is returned.

Names Yerevan, Goycha and Zangezur as campaign objectives.

Historical context outside 2023–2026 charts; no specified military action. The present webpage date alone does not prove a 2019 archived appearance.

Claim

1 Population & property

Alakbarli demands that villages in Armenia be urgently emptied to enable Azerbaijani resettlement.

Demand to empty villages inside Armenia

Ermənistandakı kəndlər də təcili boşaldılmalıdır! - Fərrux Zəfəri

Commenting on Farrukh, he alleges Armenian settlement in former Azerbaijani villages and demands those villages be vacated.

Keep outside the 2023-start dashboard; no completed displacement is proved by the demand.

A concrete population-removal demand. The later military-force conditional is spoken by MP Azer Badamov, not the WAC chair.
