    JAROMIR STETINA SUGGESTS DENOUNCING RESOLUTION ON KHOJALU PRESENTED BY CZECH MP

    20:36 19/02/2013 >> REGION

    Czech senator sent a letter to current Speaker of the Chamber of
    Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Miroslava Němcova.

    Member of Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security Jaromír
    Štětina in the letter that is addressed to Speaker of Parliament
    Miroslava Němcova has expressed his concern about the resolution
    admitted by the this commission on February 7 connected with Khojalu
    events.

    Armenian European magazine "Days" reports that Štětina stresses that
    this resolution has been accepted a few days later of the meeting
    of the chairman of commission David Vodrazka with the Azerbaijani
    ambassador to Czech Republic Tahir Tanghizade. The document says that
    613 peaceful inhabitants have been violently killed by the Armenian
    military units in KHojalu.

    "This statement does not correspond to reality, and I think that
    the Azerbaijani ambassador is misleading the Committee on Foreign
    Relations. I was working in Nagorno Karabakh as a foreign correspondent
    by the time when the Armenian troops seized Khojalu and I was quite
    familiar to the whole situation. The Armenian troops occupied Khojalu
    and the airport of Stepanakert that was close to that place. Before
    they would attack they announced that they leave a corridor for the
    civilians which would lead them to Azerbaijani city of Aghdam. Most of
    the inhabitants of Khojalu have used that corridor, some of them have
    been seized and moved to Stepanakert and kept in one of the schools
    there, I have met them for several times there (most of them were not
    Azerbaijanis but Turks from Mskheti,) they have been set free later
    on. The violent mass killings of several dozens of civilians have been
    committed on their way to Aghdam, on Azerbaijani territory, which was
    controlled by Azerbaijani troops and militarized forces. According to
    Armenian version and according to my information that I was receiving
    by that time it is more possible that the Turks of Mskheti have been
    cruelly killed by the Azerbaijani non-governmental special troops.

    This has taken place before resignation of Azerbaijani president
    Mutalibov, who stated that these mass killings aimed at driving him
    from power by accusing him in being unable to secure the safety of
    his own people," Štětina says in his letter.

    According to the source the senator stressed at the end of the letter
    addressed to the speaker of the Parliament that the resolution of the
    Defence and Security committee does not correspond to balanced and
    correct relations of Czech Republic with South Caucasus and promotes
    the growth of tension in the region.

    "As far as this resolution is based on one-sided and false information
    provided by one of the conflicting sides, and as the other side has had
    no chance to get acquainted with the document I offer the Committee
    on Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Speaker, to invalidate the resolution,"
    Jaromír Štětina says in the letter addressed to Parliament Speaker
    Miroslava Němcova.

    On February 7 the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security
    of Czech Republic held a voting, almost secretly, not informing those
    members of the committee who could vote against the resolution and
    present the viewpoints of the Armenian side too.

    The document is not yet in force as the chairman of the committee
    Vodrazka has not signed it yet.
