    ON AZERBAIJAN'S ATTEMPTS TO DENY ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    This week the state propaganda machine of Azerbaijan has decided to
    "pay special attention" to the matter of denying the Armenian Genocide
    in Ottoman Turkey. Since denying indisputable truth is the cornerstone
    of the Aliyev clan's propaganda, the clan's "humble servants" showed
    a crusading zeal.

    The key role in the frenzied campaign was, as usual, assigned to the
    leading government-run mass media immediately controlled by the Ilham
    Aliyev administration. The public TV and radio companies of Azerbaijan
    have prepared a series of films and programs trying to deny the fact
    of the Armenian Genocide in the best traditions of the Aliyev fascist
    propaganda. Here are the titles of some films the government-run Aztv
    channel plans to televise: "Armenians: anatomy of hate. Operation
    'Outpost'", "Armenians: anatomy of hate. Political adventure of the
    century", "1915: Start to falsifications by Armenians". No comments...

    The Public Radio of Azerbaijan has broadcast a program informing the
    public of how "Armenia is avoiding the formation of a committee of
    historians." The government-run news agency of Azerbaijan "keeps pace
    with" the Public Radio.

    The Aliyev clan has made the policy of denying the Armenian Genocide a
    means of self-affirmation, which has gradually turned into a means of
    asserting itself for the entire Azerbaijani people. We can only feel
    sorry for our neighbors, as the attempts are doomed to failure. Of
    interest is, however, the following tendency:

    Over the last three years - long before the first steps in the
    Armenian-Turkish normalization process - the leading Turkish mass
    media have hardly used such expressions as "the so-called genocide,"
    "invented genocide" and others. Moreover, the phrase "tragic events
    in 1915" has often been heard during news programs. Of course,
    it is too little for the Turkish people on its way to repentance,
    but it can at least be viewed as a step forward.

    This tendency, however, has no effect on Turkey's "small brother."

    Foaming at the mouth, and with cynicism surpassing that of Turks,
    official Baku goes on speaking of "invented genocide." But no sensible
    person can understand the purpose. The only reason is their inferiority
    complex, which has reached the point of pathology.
