What is fascinating is both sides actually say this often. "After peace, we have to live together" or some variation thereof, yet both also deny the right of the other to exist calling Azeri mosques "Persian" or Armenian churches "Caucasian Albanian" etc.

The dynamic created in modern ethnic conflicts, and very evident in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, is that of revisionist history turned into unwavering national narrative to which modern identities are formed.
Each side grotesquely mischaracterise the other and both sides are unwavering in narrative.
Unlike Germany or Italy during WW2, where military dictatorships had seized power, consecutive Armenian/Azeri governments have promoted these stories.

Slight add: this is completely true. Whatever you think of the conflict, in pure military and political terms, Armenia had little to gain from concessions while Azerbaijan had a lot causing them to stall endlessly.
