THE WASHINGTON TIMES PUBLICIZES ACCUSATION LETTER TO AZERIS
11:17, 25 January, 2013
YEREVAN, JANUARY 25, ARMENPRESS. American the Washington Times
periodical publicized a letter, where the author reminds the
Azerbaijanis about the dark pages of their history. As reports
"Armenpress" the letter runs as follows: "It is hard to believe that
Azerbaijan has so quickly forgotten its own history, starting with
the horrific events that took place from Feb. 26 to Feb. 28, 1988, in
the city of Sumgait, 16 miles away from capital city of Baku. During
this three-day period, violent, rioting mobs of ethnic Azeris attacked
and killed Armenians both on the streets and in their homes ~W while
the police observed and let the events unfold and medical personnel
refused to treat the victims. These days entered the history under the
name of "Sumgait pogroms". Azerbaijan doesn~Rt seem to recollect that
soon after the Sumgait pogroms, more Armenian citizens suffered the
results of government-orchestrated violence, and in November 1988,
the Kirovabad pogroms unfolded. Azerbaijan also has forgotten that
after months of riots in January 1990, the violence reached Baku. The
very people who brutally tortured and killed innocent Armenians are
now honored by the Azeri government as heroes."
Among other things the author noted that Azeri leadership continuously
attempts to rewrite history instead of drawing lessons from it. It
continues to make heroes out of murderers, just as it did in the
recent pardon of an ax murderer, Ramil Safarov, who brutally killed an
Armenian colleague in his sleep during a NATO study program in Hungary.
