In its March 29 issue, the Baku-based newspaper Zerkalo said that a
new organization, called Western Azerbaijani Liberation Front, has
been established.
Its chairman Rizvan Talibov has said his organization is neither
pro-governmental nor opposition, and that its only goal is to have the
international community finally recognize the rights of the "western"
Azeris over the territories of the Republic of Armenia, and the Azeris
who had fled Armenia in 1988 could return to their homes.
Talibov has also noted that although many of his organization's
members are well-know politicians and businessmen they would not be
actively involved in the parliamentary elections due this fall. Thus,
the azeris who have announced themselves as owners of the present
Armenia, are trying to destruct the international community and the
Azerbijani public from the hot political issues of the fall.
This is, however, not the only incident of the Azerbaijani cynicism. A
branch of the Karabakh International Foundation was established in
Baku, according to Zerkalo.
Furthermore, in its March 31 issue, Zerkalo wrote that a seminar was
organized by the so-called Karabakh Liberation Organization and the
so-called Khojalu Genocide Organization to discuss "the genocide of
the Azerbaijani people perpetrated by the Dashnak government of
Armenia in March of 1918." Speaking in the seminar, the KLO leader,
Akif Nagi, said that such discussions should be held more frequently
in Azerbaijan so that the international community and public realize
that the Armenians committed a crime in 1918.
One thing is quite clear; the Azerbaijani authorities are attempting
to kill two birds with one stone: deceive its own people, and distract
the international community from the Armenian Cause on the eve of the
Genocide's 90th anniversary and alleviate the Turkish brothers' crime
with a formula "we did it but you did it too."
