    Azeri Journalist Asks Armenian People Pardon

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Luiza Poghosyan did not call the Genocide a myth. She
    merely wanted to say that the myth is the conviction that the Genocide
    not being recognized by Turks hampers us in developing relations
    with Turkey. This is stated by a letter of Azeri participant of South
    Caucasus Alternative Alekper Aliyev, received by PanARMENIAN.Net. As
    we reported earlier, Aliyev has somehow distorted the text of the
    statement of editor of www.southcaucasus.com web-site Luiza Poghosyan
    at a six-sided meeting of citizens and NGOs of Armenia, Azerbaijan,
    Nagorno Karabakh, Georgia, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, held in Yerevan
    July 8-13.

    Aliyev interpreted her words as, "The myth on genocide, we are
    stuffed with, has become a complex for the Armenian society and made
    it sick. We raise our children in hatred towards Turks. In this case
    Turks for us are Turkey and Azerbaijan. We are told we won a war,
    however, actually our entire region lost, specifically we lost. No
    development is observed, nothing good is taking place. How long can
    this hatred propaganda last? We cannot work for the future, constantly
    thinking retrospectively."

    "It turned out that I misunderstood Luiza's first sentence. Luiza
    Poghosyan was saying a totally different thing. I exacted it from my
    friends, who participated in that meeting. I ask Armenian people's
    and my friend's pardon!" Alekper Aliyev writes.
