YEREVAN, MARCH 11, ARMENPRESS: Armenian Permanent Representative to the
UN, Ambassador Karen Nazaryan has addressed a letter to UN Secretary
General regarding recent Azerbaijani shameful propaganda in New York
on Khojali events. As Armenpress was informed from Armenian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, it was mainly noted in the letter that Azerbaijan had
been recently manipulating Khojali events in order to strengthen its
anti-Armenian propaganda both inside the UN and outside its framework.
Referring to the posters of "Azerbaijani-American alliance" in New
York City reading "Khojaly genocide: Human tragedy in Azerbaijan;
help Azerbaijanis and Armenians to reach peace", Ambassador notes that
besides the unacceptable interference in public life of the city,
where central office of UN and diplomatic representations of other
states are situated, distortion of facts and Azerbaijani propaganda
containing ethnic hatred are deeply concerning.
"This terrible initiative financed by Azerbaijan gives birth to
xenophobia and hatred and endangers the aspiration of nations to
reach lasting peace based on truth and justice. Azerbaijan constantly
distorts the Khojaly events of 1992, which, according to different
international organizations and the Azerbaijani leadership, including
then President Ayaz Mutalibov, were organized by the opposition
"Popular Front" movement," is noted in the letter.
Ambassador Nazaryan has added that by taking such steps Azerbaijan
is trying to black out its crimes, escape from the responsibility of
militarizing the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. If Azerbaijan really wants
to help Armenians and Azerbaijanis to reach peace and settlement of
the issue, it should direct efforts to constructive participation
in the negotiations within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group,
noted Karen Nzaryan.
