An official presentation ceremony for the commissioning of three
church bells donated by the Azerbaijani government took place in
Mexico City at Konsepsion Santisima church on Tlakskoake-Khojaly
Square adjacent to a monument dedicated to victims of Khojaly genocide
the Azerbaijani Embassy in Mexico reported on Friday.
According to the head priest Eduardo Lozano Juarez, who opened the
event, the repair and restoration of Tlakskoake Khojaly Square with
the support of the Azerbaijani government, as well as a donation of
bells to the church are signs of peace and love to God, as well as the
monument to the victims of Khojaly genocide located on the square.
Citing a quote from the works of the great Azerbaijani poet Nizami
Ganjavi and giving examples of Pope John Paul II' s statements about
Azerbaijan, made during his visit to the country in 2002, Lozano said
Azerbaijan is the place where you can find peace.
During his speech at the ceremony, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Mexico
Ilgar Mukhtarov noted the developing friendly relations between the
people of Azerbaijan and Mexico.
In turn, speaking about Azerbaijan, the Cardinal of the catholic
church Norberto Ribera Carrera, said the country has an unusual
religious tolerance and stated that Christians and Jews live freely
and equally along with the Muslims in Azerbaijan .
During the solemn presentation of the church bells some members of the
Armenian community attempted to draw the attention of the press and
the event participants by stating that "what happened in Khojaly, in
fact, was not genocide" and "the inscription on the monument is not
true."
However the provocation which caused disapproval of the residents and
embassy guests who were gathered there failed and the protestors were
expelled from the venue by Mexico City residents.
