YEREVAN. - The Azerbaijanis are telling tales about the events that
occurred in Khojaly, Azerbaijan, on February 25-26, 1992. These
tales were invented to cover up the crimes they had committed against
the Armenians in Sumgait and Baku, Chairman Grigori Ayvazyan of the
Assembly of Azerbaijan Armenians stated during a press conference
on Tuesday.
According to him, the Armenians themselves should confess that the
Armenian pogroms in the City of Sumgait were genocide, too.
"Armenia should formally recognize the genocide of the Armenians in
Azerbaijan," Ayvazyan added.
In his view, the primary shortfall of the Armenian policy in the past
25 yeas is that the pogroms in Sumgait were discussed by numerous
people, but no one asked the Azerbaijan Armenians' respective
viewpoint.
"This is [the case] at a time when the Karabakh conflict solutions
that are advantageous for the Armenian party are in our hands. It is us
[Azerbaijan Armenians] who are well aware of Azerbaijan's weaknesses,"
chairman of the Assembly of Azerbaijan Armenians concluded.
To note, large-scale pogroms of Armenians in Sumgait were carried
out from February 27 to 29, 1988 and, as a result, thirty people were
brutally killed and hundreds were injured.
