    Azerbaijani against canonization of John Paul II for his pro-Armenian position


    May 04, 2011 | 10:12

    Chairman of so-called `Organization of Karabakh Liberation' Akif Naghi
    sent a letter to Roman Pope Benedict XVI expressing concern over
    canonizations of John Paul II.

    In his letter Nago noted that John Paul II did not adopt just position
    on `Armenia's occupation of Azerbaijani territory.'

    `In 1992, he wrote a letter to the Armenian groups in Karabakh, told
    them that he was sending `the power taken from God', assessed their
    aggressive acts as `fight for religion' and said that `he will come to
    Khojaly and will bow to the battle places of the Armenian brothers
    which died there if it is possible'. It is possible that in that
    period the Pope was deceived by Armenian propaganda. That's why we
    waited certain confessions from him during his Baku visit.
    Unfortunately, John Paul II contented himself only with the expression
    `it is impossible not to be proud of this country's patience and
    mutual understanding spirit'. The next year, in 2003 during his visit
    to Yerevan, he visited the tombs of Armenians killed in the Karabakh
    war,' the activist writes, APA news agency reported.
