Azerbaijani Diaspora wins information war against Armenia: Chairman of
State Committee
30.12.08 13:01
Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 30 /corr. Trend News J.Babayeva / The Chairman
of the State Committee for Work with Diaspora of Azerbaijan, Nazim
Ibrahimov, considers that the Azerbaijan diasporas win the information
war against Armenia.
`All international organizations recognize Armenia as aggressor
country and accept Azerbaijan as the victim side. The entire world
recognizes realities of Khojali tragedy,' Ibrahimov briefed the media
on Dec. 30.
The Head of the State Committee does not agree with the opinions that
the Azerbaijan diasporas lag behind others. `They all began to
function for many years earlier than the Azerbaijan diasporas, which
could reach positive results within a short period. Friendly relations
were established between the Azerbaijan and Jewish diasporas, since
Jewish lobby recognizes the force of the diasporas of Azerbaijan,'
said the chairman of State Committee.
Armenian diasporas analyze each step of Azerbaijani diasporas and this
testifies the authority of our organizations, he said. `The diasporas
are supported by a strong state and care of the wise President,' said
Ibragimov.
The conflict between the two countries of South Caucasus began in 1988
due to territorial claims by Armenia against Azerbaijan. Armenia has
occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani land including the Nagorno-Karabakh
region and its seven surrounding Districts. Since 1992, these
territories have been under the occupation of the Armenian Forces. In
1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
time the active hostilities ended. The Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk
Group ( Russia, France and USA) are currently holding peaceful
negotiations.
On the night of 25 to 26 February 1992 the Azerbaijani settlement of
Nagorno-Karabakh, Khojali, was occupied by Armenian separatists, with
active participation of military personnel and army tanks of the 366th
regiment of the Russian army. In a matter of several hours, more than
600 unarmed Azerbaijani citizens, including 106 women and 83 children,
were brutally killed. The annihilation of the peaceful people
continued for several days during which time the Armenians executed
and killed prisoners, committed violence against women and children,
cut off the heads of Azerbaijani military prisoners and had them hung
up. During this crime, 487 people, including 76 juveniles were
physically disabled and 1,275 people were taken prisoner. Despite the
release of most of the prisoners, the fate of 150 people is still
unknown.
