Baku - APA. The Benelux Azerbaijanis Congress (BAC) and other
Azerbaijani Diaspora organizations functioning in the Netherlands have
sent a letter of protest to the VU University of Amsterdam regarding
the presentation of the book by Armenian Anna Astvatsaturian born in
Baku, about the Baku and Sumgayit events in the 1990s.
The letter says it has already been proved that the clashes in Baku
and Sumgayit in 1990 were committed by Armenians and more than 30 000
Armenians are currently residing in Azerbaijan, the State Committee
on Work with Diaspora told APA.
"The Armenians, who cannot accept the fact that Azerbaijan is a
tolerant country where several nations friendly co-existed many years,
continue to spread slanders. The existence of the Armenian Church in
Baku also proves that Azerbaijan is a tolerant country. There is no
Azerbaijani in Armenia which continues pursuing a policy of ethnic
cleansing. These and similar facts are still being hidden from the
world community," the letter says.
The young members of BAC also attended the presentation of the book.
At the end of the event organized by theDutch Armenian Committee
and Armenian Youth Organization, the young members of the Benelux
Azerbaijanis Congress addressed questions to Astvatsaturian about the
Armenian atrocities in Nagorno Karabakh and Khojaly, bringing facts
and arguments.
