    IRAN TO HOST CONFERENCE DEVOTED TO HISTORICAL DISTORTIONS IN AZERI LITERATURE

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Numerous materials with false information about
    Armenia and Armenian pogroms in Azerbaijan published for 20 years in
    Azerbaijan. These materials represent an Armenian as an enemy, thereby
    enhancing the image of the enemy among the Azerbaijani people, Vladimir
    Zakharov, Deputy Director of Caucasian Studies Institute of Moscow
    State Institute of International Relations told journalists in Yerevan.

    "In these materials Armenians are presented as the perpetrators
    of the Armenian pogroms in Sumgait, Baku, and the worst thing is
    Baku distributes these materials and literature in the West. Why the
    Armenian side does not respond to these actions, why does not initiate
    steps in this direction? After all, wrong views are spread in Europe,"
    the political scientist said.

    Vladimir Zakharov informed that Iran will host a conference devoted
    to historical distortions in Azerbaijani literature in May this year.

    On January 13, 1990, the Azerbaijani authorities instigated the
    Armenian pogroms of Baku. Some 400 Armenians were killed and 200
    thousand were exiled in the period of January 13-19. The exact number
    of those killed was never determined, as no investigation was carried
    out into the crimes.

    On the above-mentioned date, a crowd numbering 50 thousand people
    divided into groups and started "cleaning" the city of Armenians. On
    January 17, the European Parliament called on EU Council of Foreign
    Ministers and European Council to protect Armenians and render
    assistance to Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh. On January 18, a group of
    U.S. Senators sent a letter to Mikhail Gorbachev to express concerns
    over the violence against the Armenian population in Azerbaijan and
    called for unification of Nagorno Karabakh with Armenia.
