Azerbaijan tries to benefit from distortion of history and speculation
on ethnic issues, Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran's West
Azarbaijan Province announced, Iran's ISNA news agency reported.
Referring to Baku's recent allegations and speculations that the
bodies found in the cemetery in Urmia are those of Muslims who were
allegedly killed by Armenians in 1918, West Azarbaijan Cultural
Heritage Organization said:
"Allegations by Musa Guliyev, deputy chairman of the Azerbaijani
parliamentary committee on social policy, have nothing in common with
reality because the first researches show that the emergence of the
mass cemetery during the renovation of the historical school of Urmia
is linked with the events that occurred during World War I, when the
Ottoman Turks, Russia and England made attacks aimed at occupying
Iran's northwestern regions which left dead about 9 million Iranians."
The Iranian source says that three years ago Azeri media released a
video saying that allegedly a mummy was found in Khodaafarin district,
which had 4000-year history. But researches revealed that the mummy
was forged.
