On February 26 at one of the squares of Prague, with the support of
the Azerbaijani Embassy in the Czech Republic and in the financing
of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation tents entitled "Past and Present
of Azerbaijan" have been set, where, according to the information,
the history and culture of Azerbaijan were to be presented.
As the representative of the Armenian community fro, the Czech Republic
told Panorama.am, the day was not chosen by chance, and it was logical
to think that there will be an attempt to present the Azerbaijani
version of Aghdam events taken place in 1992, propagandistic material
of completely anti-Armenian and racist nature.
These actions caused anger among a group of locals who approached
the tents and called to stop the promotion of racism in Prague. As
a result of skirmishes the Azerbaijanis were forced to remove their
anti-Armenian materials and were confined to treating the passers-by
with free sweets and tea.
Last year the anti-Armenian event held by the Azerbaijani in the
Czech Republic was also disrupted. Thus, the representatives of the
Armenian community entered the tents of the Azerbaijanis and started
distributing their leaflets, including the organizers of the event.
They also managed to photograph it all and in the same time to collect
most of the Azerbaijani propaganda materials and to remove several
stands. In the tents of the Azerbaijanis the Armenian activists began
to tell the truth about the Aghdam events.
On February 26, 1992, during the war in Karabakh, around 200 to
300 people (according to Human Rights Watch, and 600 according
to the version propagated by Azerbaijan) were killed in unknown
circumstances near the city of Aghdam. They have been deliberately
withheld by the Azerbaijani authorities in the midst of the military
actions. Population of the village of Khojalu, which was one of the
firing points shooting at the blockaded Stepanakert (among five others)
was kept in the village for months by force and was not evacuated by
the authorities of Azerbaijan deliberately, in order to use them as
human shields later.
Residents of Khojalu coming out through the humanitarian corridor,
that the self-defense forces of NKR had left open, freely passed more
than 10 km and reached the Aghdam city controlled by the Azerbaijani
troops. Later, not far from the positions of Azerbaijani troops dead
bodies of the villagers were found. The exact death toll remains
unknown as the official Baku publishes data contradicting each other.
Parliamentary Commission investigating the tragic death of the
civilians at Aghdam city was dissolved by the order of Heydar Aliyev,
the investigative materials are kept secret.
