=== Ideology === |
|||
The purpose of the society is to achieve the social and cultural unity of Azerbaijani individuals and their descendants who have been forcibly deported en masse from Armenian territory at various times due to their ethnic identity. This includes the restoration of their rights on an international level, the study and promotion of the rich historical and cultural heritage created by the Azerbaijani people in Armenian territory, preventing its destruction, ensuring the right of those individuals to return to their ancestral homeland, and facilitating coexistence. To fulfill these purposes, the society's responsibilities and rights have been determined.<ref>[https://azertag.az/xeber/Qerbi%20Azerbaycan%20Icmasi%20adli%20yeni%20teskilat%20yaradilib-2240447 "Qərbi Azərbaycan İcması" adlı yeni təşkilat yaradılıb]</ref> |
