Baku - APA. Armenia continues provocation against
Azerbaijan. Attempting to tense the situation, Armenians wanted to
take advantage of Israel-Palestine conflict.
Armenian posted an article "What happens in Sumgayit" on
azertopnews.3dn.ru website. The article writes that the Jews living
there underwent attacks.
"According to unchecked reports, some incidents occurred in some
districts of Sumgayit on the night of February 8-9. The houses of
Jewish families were attacked. According to initial reports, about
12 people were injured and hospitalized. It is supposedly connected
with the recent developments in Gaza. Negative attitude towards the
Jews living in Azerbaijan arose in 2006 - after the Jewish community
in Azerbaijan supported Israel's operations in Lebanon. Imam of Juma
mosque Ilgar Ibrahimoglu made a sereve speech and even threatened the
Jews: "I promise Ikhilov that we will demonstrate our solidarity with
Lebanese and Palestinians".
AzerTopNews learned that head of Sumgayit executive power Vagif Aliyev
held an urgent meeting of the law-enforcement bodies in the morning on
February 9 and demanded to find all the perpetrators of the incidents.
APA carried out investigations and found out that the article was
groundless and aimed to stir up a discord between the Azerbaijanis
and Jews. The Armenians chose Sumgayit again. It is clear why they
chose this variant again on the eve of the attacks organized by them
in Sumgayit in 1988. Failing to reach their goals 21 years ago the
enemies again showed Sumgayit as a "savage city" using Jews. It
is not accidental that Armenian websites spreading false news of
AzerTopNews mention "Armenian slaughters" in Sumgayit in 1988 and
show false statistics. But it is obvious that the false news article
has ended in a fiasco. Statements of official bodies of Azerbaijan
and Israeli embassy in Azerbaijan proved this once more.
Deputy Chief of the Sumgayit City Police Office Agakishi Allahverdiyev
told APA that no Jewish family in Sumgayit suffered from the
pressure on it. He denied the information and said it had a sabotage
character. "Even lowest pressure on any Jewish family in Sumgayit is
out of question".
Adviser to the Sumgayit City Executive Authority Teymour Veliyev told
APA that the Jewish people living in the city had no problems. "It is
calm in the city. Reports about the attacks against Jews in Sumgayit
are completely groundless".
Chief of the press service of Interior Ministry Sadig Gozalov also
denied reports about the attacks against Jewish people in Sumgayit. He
said there were no attacks and pressure on Jewish people not only in
Sumgayit, but throughout the country. "No one faces with pressure for
his religious faith in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijanis and Jews are living in
friendly condition for many centuries. Our country is an example for
its tolerance in the world. It seems our enemies concern about this
fact and they think that they can damage relations between Azerbaijani
and Jewish people with their false information. The history confirms
for many times that such attempts are vain and relations between
Azerbaijani and Jewish people living in Azerbaijan are always in a
high level".
Israeli embassy in Azerbaijan told APA that it didn't receive any
information about pressure on the Jews in Sumgayit.
Source of those reports was at the web-site azertopnews.3dn.ru,
which spreads mostly Azerbaijani news. However the essence and
content of the news show that the administrators of the site hate
Azerbaijan. Despite that they use a word of "azer" in the title,
after short visit it becomes clear that Armenian special services
administrate the web-site. It also became clear when the Armenian
press published an article "What happens in Sumgayit?" quoting the
azertopnews.3dn.ru. The Armenian special services created a web-site
on behalf of Azerbaijan and now they are placing there the articles
against Azerbaijan and then are trying to spread the information
quoting that site. Other interesting thing is that they placed their
hyperlinks using the names of Azerbaijani leading news agencies and
portals as their partners. The separatist "Kabal" and "Talisshskoe
agentstvo" were also noted as the azertopnews.3dn.ru partners. It means
that the web-site uses the news of its "partners" at its own wish.
Of course, APA can not be a partner of the Armenian special services'
site together with the separatist agencies. We intended to get contact
phone or address of that site to express our protest, but couldn't find
it. It was expected, because the false web-site can not have contacts.
