POLITICIAN: "IF THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT XOCALI IS FOUND OUT IT WILL BE A GREAT SLAP FOR AZERBAIJANIS"
http://times.am/?l=en&p=5036
Today at "Hayeli" ("Mirros") press-club politicians Alexander Manasyan
and Ashot Bleyan met with journalists.
Speaking about public's involvement in the Arstakh issue, A. Bleyan
noted: "The public involvement has been changed during the years. Till
1994 everyone in society knew its place. This was a unique solidarity
and it brought a success to us. Today the public seems to be isolated
from the issue as now it is the round of negotiations where the
society seems to have nothing to do. On those years Arstakh survival
was a national issue".
The politician also informed that during some last years he has
fulfilled educational some projects with Arstakh. Due to those projects
many Armenian teenagers discovered Artsakh for them and made ties
with Artsakh people.
Referring to the public involvement in Artsakh issue another speaker
of press-conference, Alexander Manasyan said: "Azerbaijani society
is involved in the issue in one way and we are involved in another way.
Very often we have to prove in the international forums that on
1988 Azerbaijani masses were involved in massacres, were involved in
occupations. They had a massive involvement in massacres and this was
the type of their involvement. We had another way. We had volunteers,
kamikazes."
Speaking about our days A. Manasyan noted: "We have a national
mentality, which often damages us. After the war we consider that
everything is over and we stop worrying". The politician explains
that this character led us to have losses in the information war for
a long time. But now according to him the situation is changed.
Speaking about today's reality, A. Bleyan especially rated the fact of
self-identified Artsakh. Accoridng to him Artsakh self-determination
is a fact and it brings new tasks with it. "Those noew tasks must
change me, my actions. Artsakh will also be changed due to this fact",
the politician considers. According to him now it is very important
for us to urge Azerbaijan to recognize Arstakh self-determination.
Recently Azerbaijani propaganda measures have started to use so called
"Xoxali genocide". Pakistan has recognized the "genocide" and Mexico
seems to be on the way of recognition. Referring to Xocali events, Al.
Manasyan said: "We write about Xocali, but we write for us. We think
that as the truth is for us it will also work for us. But it never
happens in such a way in the information war. Aezrbaijan works hard
towards the issue and spreads disinformation. As we are passive they
act actively".
Manasyan considers that we must appeal to the court against Azerbaijan
for Xocali.
"In reality, Karabakh forces informed Baku that the military action
must take place and Xocali must be liberated. Azerbaijani authorities
might take the peace population far from the territory. But they
did not do it. They needed to get free of Mutalibov then and that is
why they used this occasion. Peae population was shot from Aghdam,
from the territory, which was under Azerbaijani supervision. So this
means that the massacre took place under Azerbaijani supervision. If
the truth about Xocali is discovered it will be a strong slap for
Azerbaijanis. They will see how people pay for the authorities. And
that is why Azerbaijani authorities are so aggressive about this
theme today", Manasyan underlined.
