NKR UNION OF JOURNALISTS URGES INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISTIC
ORGANIZATIONS TO CONTRIBUTE TO RECOGNITION OF CRIMES COMMITTED IN
TURKEY AND AZERBAIJAN
STEPANAKERT, APRIL 23. ARMINFO. In connection with the 90th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the Union of Journalists of
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic makes an appeal to the international
journalist organizations.
According to ARMINFO's special correspondent to Stepanakert, the
appeal, in particular, says that denial of the Armenian genocide by
Turkey is a challenge to acknowledged legal and moral norms. Lack of
juridical and political assessment of the tragic events in Ottoman
Turkey in 1915-1923 by the international community has become a
precedent for the Azerbaijani authorities waging constant policy of
ethnic purges, which led to massacre and deportation of the Armenian
population of that country at the end of the 20th century, says the
appeal. NKR Union of Journalists urges all the journalistic
organizations in the world to contribute to the international
recognition of the crimes committed in Turkey and Azerbaijan, as facts
of genocide, calling it a pledge of refusal from the policy of ethnic
purges in the world and establishment of tolerant relations between
the states and the peoples.
