Armenia's Ambassador to UN Karen Nazaryan
UNITED NATIONS-Armenia's Ambassador to the United Nations, Karen
Nazaryan, sent a letter last week to the UN Secretary General warning
of Azerbaijan's "deceptive information" regarding the events of
Khojaly.
Nazarian decried the misleading information publicized by Azeris
and attached a statement published by the Foreign Ministry of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic regarding the chain of events that occurred
in 1992.
"I regret to note that the representative of Azerbaijan has once
again taken up an initiative of circulating misleading and deceptive
information related to the tragic events of 1992 in the settlement
of Khojalu. This delegation has on numerous occasions reacted with
anti-Armenian propaganda and falsifications on behalf of Azerbaijani
authorities relating to those events," the letter states.
It would be most relevant to recall the appeal of the international
community, not least the European Court of Human Rights and numerous
human rights organizations, to release the Azerbaijani journalists
and human rights activists who had questioned the version of the
Government of Azerbaijan on the Khojalu events. Armenia reiterates
its position, according to which progress in the negotiations for the
peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh issue depends, inter alia,
on the establishment of tolerance and restraint from hate propaganda.
The Azeri initiative does not bode well for such objectives," added
the letter.
Nazaryan requested that the UN Secretary-General circulate the
letter and the statement of the Foreign Ministry of the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic as an official document of the General Assembly,
under agenda items 35 and 39, and of the Security Council.
