Permanent Representative of the Republic of Armenia to the UN
Karen Nazarian sent a letterdated 24 February 2012 to the UN
Secretary-General.
The letter was of the following content:
"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 Khojaly. This delegation has on numerous occasions reacted with
anti-Armenian propaganda and falsifications on behalf of Azerbaijani
authorities relating to those events.
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 Khojaly 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".
Permanent Representative of the Republic of Armenia to the UN Karen
Nazarian requested the UN Secretary-General that the present letter and
the attached statement of the Foreign Ministry of the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic, in response to the letter of the representative of
Azerbaijan, be circulated as an official document of the General
Assembly, under agenda items 35 and 39, and of the Security Council.
