    VICTIMS OF "GENOCIDE" COMMEMORATED IN AZERBAIJAN

    AZG Armenian Daily
    31/03/2007

    Official Baku alleges that genocide of the people of Azerbaijan was
    committed by Armenians on March 31, 1918. "Armed units of the Armenian
    "Dashnaks" (members of "Dashnaktsutiun" - Armenian Revolutionary Union
    party members) had committed massacres of the Azerbaijani population
    in Baku," Azerbaijani historical science says.

    In a speech dedicated to the "event" President of Azerbaijan Ilham
    Aliyev noted that this date is related to the robberies and massacres
    of Armenian armed units against Azerbaijanis in March, 1918 and
    have a broad chronology. "Within nearly 200 years, Armenians carried
    out military, political, ideological campaigns aimed to oppress the
    Azeris and remove from their native lands, to occupy new lands and to
    build "great Armenian state." Removal of great number of Armenians to
    Karabakh and Zangezur from Iran and the Ottoman Empire in early 19th
    century, mass massacres and robberies committed by Armenian forces in
    different parts of South Caucasus in 1905 and 1918, deportation of our
    compatriots from their native lands in Armenian territory during 1948
    -1953, the large-scale war for occupying the Nagorno Karabakh province
    of Azerbaijan, which started in 1988 and its, and the Khojaly genocide
    in 1992 are the bloody pages of a planned genocide policy committed
    by Armenian aggressors against Azerbaijani people. At present 20%
    of Azerbaijani territory is under Armenian occupation," Azerbaijani
    president declared.

    Aliev President has expressed his confidence that Azerbaijan will
    achieve restoration of territorial integrity and sovereignty and
    exposure of the ones who carried out genocide policy against the
    Azeri people.
