Baku propagandists attempting to divert attention from Armenian Genocide

PanARMENIAN.Net - Publications by Baku propagandists and their foreign accomplices about so-called "genocide of Mountain Jews" represent one of the branches of the policy of falsification of Azerbaijani history, head of the institute of national and strategic studies at the RA Defense Ministry, major general Hayk Kotanjyan said when commenting on Azeri media reports that the Knesset intends to form a commission to investigate "the genocide of Mountain Jews" perpetrated in early 20th century in the territory of present-day Azerbaijan, the RA Defense Minister's spokesman, col. Seyran Shahsuvaryan told PanARMENIAN.Net



The aim of these falsifications is to divert attention from the Armenian Genocide and the massacre of Armenians in Baku and Yelizavetpole provinces in the territory of present-day Azerbaijan. Armenians had to defend their families in 1988 and in 1990, during the pogroms in Sumgait, Kirovabad and Baku. And heirs of the Holocaust understand it. Immorality of the Azeri propaganda machine is well known. I call on my counterparts in Israel and numerous Jewish Diaspora to protect friendship between Jews and South Caucasus nations from falsifiers.
