Details of Azeri lobby in Mexico revealed
(Agencia Prensa Armenia).- Carlos Antaramian, a Mexican professor,
published an article in Istor magazine where where he denounced
several details of Azeri lobby in Mexico.
“Why does Mexico, a country that have not recognized any other
genocide in parliamentary statements (except the Holocaust),
recognized Khojaly,
a discussed issue?” asks Antaramian at the beginning of his
text. “After that in late 2011, the following year they opened
in Mexico City two squares restructured by the Azeri government: the
first, called ‘Mexico-Azerbaijan Friendship Park’, had a
huge statue of the leader Heydar Aliyev, father of the current
president of Azerbaijan, before being removed on January 26, 2013, and
the second one, called ‘Tlaxcoaque-Khojaly Square’, has a
monument of a woman raising her arms and a base that reads
‘Khojaly Genocide’. Both parliamentary statements and
squares correspond to effective lobbying by the Azeri ambassador Ilgar
Mukhtarov”, he explains, considering that Azerbaijan threatened
to retire the investments when they decided to remove the statue of
Aliyev. Mukhatarov stated that “so far, the Latin American
countries were free field for Armenians, since Azerbaijan was not
represented in the region”.
The document notes that one of the examples of Ambassador Mukhtarov
lobby “were the conferences organized at universities in Mexico
to present the Azeri version of Khojaly”. In the report, the
professor carefully explains all manipulations, distortions of history
and lies presented by Azerbaijan: “It is well known that history
is sometimes manipulated and rewritten to be used as a powerful tool
of territorial struggle and even denial of the culture and identity of
other groups”. At the same time, Antaramian recalls that
“any Azeri who dares to challenge the official version of the
Azerbaijan’s history is considered a traitor by the government
of that country”.
Antaramian also evokes the visit of Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian to Mexico, where he said that “the parliamentary
statements issued by the Chambers of Mexico contain distortions of the
facts of the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh”. “These
documents where written using only the position of the Azeri Embassy
in Mexico, thanks to Ambassador Ilgar Mukhtarov lobby. He, as Roving
Ambassador in Latin America, has also taken the same document to be
ratified by other congress in Latin America”, explained
Antaramian, citing the case of Colombia , where the Senate made a
statement “condemning the ‘Armenian occupation’ and
saying that what happened in Khojaly was a genocide”.
Denouncing the various political actors that promoted the
parliamentary statement on Khojaly and agreed to the construction of
statues of Heydar Aliyev and “Khojaly genocide”,
Antaramian presents a unique document in the world, showing every
stages of the work of Azeri diplomacy to rewrite and lie about their
own history.
Dr. Carlos Antaramian has a degree in International Relations in the
UNAM (1999), and Master and PhD in Social Anthropology in Michoacan
College (2006). He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at UAM -X
(2008-9). He is currently a professor and researcher in the Multimedia
Production Area of Michoacan College, and is conducting a research on
“La migración armenia en America Latina”. He has recently
made the documentary “Los armenios en La Merced” (2012)
and published “Del Ararat al Popocatepetl. Los armenios en
Mexico” (2011), along with some articles on the Armenian
Genocide and Armenian communities in general. He is a member of the
National System of Researchers (SNI).
