BAKUR KARAPETIAN: AZERBAIJAN'S SOWING ENMITY TO ARMENIANS IN AZERBAIJANI CHILDREN DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR THEMSELVES
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 22, NOYAN TAPAN. The story "Heavenly Walnut"
in Russian by Bakur Karapetian, Chairman of the Shushi Foundation,
writer and publicist, was recently published in Moscow. The writer
presents the Artsakh war, relations between Armenians and Azerbaijanis,
trying to show that the two peoples can live peacefully side by
side. During the December 20 presentation of the book in Yerevan, the
author said that although this story was written for schoolchildren,
adults will also benefit from its reading so that they will correctly
bring up their children. "Today Azerbaijani children have a deep
hatred against Armenians, and sowing such intolerant and hostile
moods does not bode well for these children and the future of their
country," the writer noted. In his words, the fates of the two peoples
depend on the education abd upbringing of their children, on whether
they will be able to keep pace with rapid development of the human
civilization. B. Karapetian said that in the 1990s he sent an open
letter to the Azerbaijani president Heydar Aliyev, in which he wrote
that after the displacement of the Armenian population of the North
Artsakh in 1988-1991, the Armenian khachkars, gravestones, churches and
monasteries of the historic Artsakh are destroyed with permission of
the Azerbaijani authorities. "These values are considered as universal
cultural heritage, so I asked Heydar Aliyev to forvid any vandalism to
them," the writer said. B. Karapetian informed those present that he
intends to apply to the current president of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev
with an open letter. Besides, he wants to create a website to include
works of Armenian and Azerbaijani writers.
