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.
