Sept 9 2011
Azerbaijani Diaspora has started a protest action against the visit
to the US of Ashot Ghulian, as a representative of Nagorno-Karabakh
Armenian community.
On September 13, the Armenian Caucus in the Congress will held a
reception in the name of Ghulian.
"Ashot Ghulian represents a criminal regime that has occupied the
Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and ethnically cleansed some
800,000 Azerbaijanis and Kurds from there in the process, as well as
committed a Srebrenica-type massacre in the town of Khojaly in 1992",
says the Azeri Diaspora's pretest letter to the Congress.
"US government's official position, along with other relevant quotes
from international organizations, NGOs and scholars, about the
occupation of Karabakh by the criminal regime represented by Mr.
Ghulian and the crimes against humanity conducted there against the
ethnic Azerbaijanis, Kurds and others", says the letter.
"This propaganda event featuring a war crimes suspect should be
protested by anyone who holds family and moral values in high regard,
and who is against ethnic cleansing and war crimes, and their
subsequent cover-up and defense by foreign agents", the Diaspora
representatives add.
