Baku, August 31, AssA-Irada US Senator Barack Obama visiting Azerbaijan
has acknowledged the so-called 'genocide of Armenians'.
"I believe the letter sent by the Senators to President George Bush
to recognize the genocide of Armenians reflects historic facts",
said Obama, who co-signed the appeal.
The Senator told a news briefing in Baku that the document indicates
that thousands of innocent Armenians were killed in the mentioned
developments. "By signing the letter, I also defended the interests
of the State of Illinois I represent. Killing civilians anywhere in
the world should not be allowed."
Asked whether he is aware of the horrible massacre of Azerbaijanis
by Armenian thugs in Khojali, the Senator simply replied that he is
informed of the problems in the region that have persisted for many
years, reiterating that he opposes the killings of civilians.*
