    STATEMENT OF NKR'S FOREIGN MINISTRY ON KHOJALU EVENTS CIRCULATED IN UN

    At the request of RA Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador
    Karen Nazaryan addressed to the secretary general of the UN, the
    statement of NKR's foreign ministry on the events taken place in
    Khojalu in 1992 was circulated as an official document of the General
    Assembly and the Security Council.

    As informed by the foreign ministry, Ambassador Nazaryan has stated
    that Azerbaijan has made false statements on the mentioned events
    for numerous times, and reminds that the international community
    including the European Court of Human Rights and numerous international
    human rights organizations have urged to release those Azerbaijani
    journalists and human rights defenders who put to doubt the speculation
    of Azerbaijan on the events in Khojalu.

    The details of the military actions of that time period are presented
    in the statement of NKR foreign ministry circulated in the UN and
    it is stated that "... In the context of the Karabakh conflict the
    topic of Khojalu still continues to remain one of the corner stones
    of Azerbaijan's internal and external information, more precisely,
    misinformation policy. Whereas, the expressions and evaluations made
    over the events in Khojalu by some Azerbaijani high-rank officials,
    human rights defenders, journalists and the residents of Khojalu
    themselves completely disprove Baku's false speculations."

    It is also mentioned in the statement that "all the facts undoubtedly
    prove that Azerbaijan is to blame for the deaths of peaceful residents
    of Khojalu, which perpetrated a monstrous crime towards the people
    because of political intrigues and for the struggle for authority...

    Regularly raffling the "Khojalu" card, official Baku is trying to
    deviate the attention of the international community from the organized
    massacres of Armenians in Sumgait, Baku, Kirovabad, Khanlar and in
    other settlements of Azerbaijan /in the whole territory of which in
    fact extermination of Armenians was taking place openly/, as well
    as in border settlements of NKR, particularly, in Marahga village
    /where the intruded subdivisions of Azerbaijan's regular army brutally
    exercised violence against about 100 peaceful resident in 1992/".

    Earlier, last week during the discussions of the Security Council
    held in New York the Armenian ambassador to the UN had stated that
    Armenians suffered slaughter and horrible violence in Azerbaijan only
    because of their nationality and had said the manipulation on events
    in Khojalu by Azerbaijan are absurd.
