NKR FOREIGN MINISTRY: AZERBAIJAN CARRIES ON MISINFORMING INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

PanARMENIAN.Net - Every year on the threshold the anniversary of the massacres of Armenians in Sumgait taken place February 26-28 Baku is activating anti-Armenian propaganda at all the levels", NKR Foreign Ministry's press service reports on the occasion of the "Khodaly events" commemorated in Baku. With distorting the facts Azerbaijan periodically reverts to the events of the 1992 when weapon emplacements were being eliminated in the village of Khojaly of the Askeran region of NKR. According to the version of official Baku about 600 thousand of civilians were killed in Khojaly and this figure increases year by year. With all this Azerbaijan does not give up attempts to misinform the international community. It should be noted that official Baku and Turkey are collaborating on the issue. This year the Turkish parliament held discussions on the Khojaly events. Anti-Armenian statements were lately made by the Turkish lobbyists in the US Congress as well. These actions testify of an awkward attempt of Baku and Ankara to equate the events on Khojaly and the Armenian Genocide", the NKR MFA release says.
