Armenia’s Ambassador to the Czech Republic Ashot Hovakimian visited a Czech village of Lidice, where the Azerbaijani Embassy jointly with Heydar Aliyev Foundation and Azer-Czech union are planning “to commemorate Khojalu events”.

Accompanied by Czech Armenians’ spiritual leader, archimandrite Barsegh Pilavchian, Armenia club chairman Tigran Abrahamyan and Orer magazine editor-in-chief Hakob Asatryan, Ambassador Hovakimian met with the head of Lidice village administration and director of Lidice Memorial.

The Armenian Ambassador told about what really happened in Khojalu and produced the false photographs used by the Azeri propaganda machine to mislead the international community.

Head of Lidice village administration Joseph Klima informed that the Czech Minster of Culture refused to attend the Azeri event and assured that the organizers, who tried to attract the villagers’ attention to the event by promising an abundant dinner, will not be allowed to make anti-Armenian statements.
