    The Azeri Consul lecturing at UC Irvine

    IRVINE, Calif.--The Azeri Consul attempted to present a distorted view
    of history during a presentation at University of California, Irvine,
    hosted by the pro-Azeri Council on International Affairs as part of
    Azerbaijan's ongoing revisionist propaganda in the West. At least
    two thirds of the audience in the small hall was Armenian, primarily
    students and community members, who made sure the truth was known.

    UCI Armenian Students Association passed out pamphlets to attendees
    describing the real Azerbaijan, including their policies of jailing
    journalists, rewarding murderers such as Safarov, massacring Armenians
    in Sumgait, Baku, Kirovabad, and the ongoing human rights violations of
    the Aliyev regime against its own people. After the Consul's skewed
    presentation where, among other things, he stated that Armenians
    massacred Azeris and that the historic Armenian church in Gandzasar
    was Albanian, the moderator opened the floor for questions.

    A preplanned pro-Azeri group asked prewritten pro-Azeri questions
    with canned responses by the Consulate. Finally, Armenian students
    had a chance and clarified the record, exposed the truth and asked
    about Azerbaijan's organized massacres of Armenians in Sumgait, Baku
    and Kirovabad. The Azeri Consul avoided the questions and abruptly
    ended the Q and A session short. The organizers then asked everyone
    to leave. The Consul and organizers remained in hiding in another
    room while campus Police blocked off the corridor.
