Today the "Xenophobia Prevention Initiative" has held the Khojaly
Review Conference, presenting Project of 'Chronicles of the
Unprecedented Fake and Falsifications'.
Referring to the basic facts of the issue of Khojaly, the "Xenophobia
Prevention Initiative" presented the Xocali.net project (see the page
on http://xocali.net), which comes as a respond to numerous false
and fake statements by Azerbaijan.
This page has been put together to focus on crimes and acts of false
interpretations, made in the course of the circumstances in Aghdam,
when on February 26 1992 the population of Khojaly village was killed.
Azerbaijan's media resources and various propaganda organisations
release false documents on the issue of Khojaly, trying to shift the
blame onto Armenian side. All these forgeries and disinformation have
been exposed.
Samvel Martirosian, initiative's author and information security
expert, said at the press conference, that first acts of false
interpretations were exposed when media outlets of Azerbaijan had
released a picture of a 'Killed Armenian soldier', which actually
appeared to be a Georgian soldier, killed in 2008, during the August
war between Georgia and Russia.
"We investigated and brought to light a great number of
falsifications," said Samvel Martirosian.
"We've head, for example, that Azerbaijanis are used to carrying
posters with victims of the Kosovo war, when they gather to Armenia's
embassies in different countries to hold anti-Armenian rallies. This
fact will also be reflected on the project's site."
Besides, in the course of investigation, there were found out some
20 falsified pictures, used by the Azerbaijani media in covering the
issue of Khojaly. Among them are photos of victims of the massacres
of the Kurdish population in Turkey, pictures of the victims of the
mass killings in Srebrenica of Bosnia and Herzegovina, pictures of
children, wounded in a bus explosion in 1988. A picture of a crying
woman, in fact, was shot after the earthquake and has nothing to do
with the killings in Khojaly.
The Xocali.net Project is mounting a wide range of documents
of relevance to the issue of Kjojaly. Included here are the
"Case of Khojaly: A Special Folder" by Hike Demoyan and Levon
Melik-Shakhnazarian; interviews; the article "Cattle Was Saved,
People - Not" by journalist Eynulla Fatullayev (who is sentenced
to imprisonment for an attempt to rethink the official position
of Azerbaijan over the issue); video podcasts of interviews with
the Turkish-Meskhetians, who told that despite the warnings by the
Armenian side on the upcoming attacks on Khojaly and given corridor
for evacuation, the Azerbaijani soldiers shot at the civil population
preventing them to reach the gate to the corridor.
Some documents from Xocali.net are available in Arabic, English,
French, Russian, and Azerbaijani.
