UN Permanent Representative to the UN Karen Nazaryan addressed a
letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on the occasion of the
anniversary of the tragic events, the massacre of the Armenians in
Sumgayit and Baku. Referring to the cheep propaganda and false facts
presented by Azerbaijan, Karen Nazaryan wrote: "Azerbaijan continues
presenting itself as a victim of so-called "Armenian aggression,"
distorting the tragic events known to the whole world."
According to Armenian MFA, Ambassador Nazaryan, in particular, recalls
the interview of Azerbaijan's ex-President Ayaz Mutalibov, where he
describes how the Azerbaijani opposition and militia were trying to
prevent the evacuation of civilians form the zone of military actions
through a mountain corridor. The opposition hoped to come to power
via the slaughter of its own compatriots.
The letter underlines that the international community has confirmed
the atrocities of the Azerbaijani government against the unprotected
Armenian population. "In response to the peaceful and constitutional
demand of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh to realize their right for
self-determination, the Azerbaijani authorities armed the mob, which
perpetrated a massacre of the Armenians in Sumgayit in 1988. This was
the first case of mass killing on the territory of the Soviet Union.
Immediately after Azerbaijan gained independence, the murderers were
set free and proclaimed national heroes."
"It should finally become clear that Azerbaijan launched military
aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia is confident that the
best solution in this situation is to restore the legal demand of
the people of Nagorno Karabakh to realize the right of peoples to
self-determination," the Armenian Ambassador concludes."
