YEREVAN. - Azerbaijan is responsible for the events that occurred in
Khojaly on February 25-26, 1992, Armenia's first Human Rights Defender,
"Against Legal Arbitrariness" Foundation Executive Director Larisa
Alaverdyan stated during a press conference on Friday.
"Azerbaijan has no ethical and political right to raise matters that
are based on lies and distorted facts. Is it not true that, reflecting
at the time on the events of Khojaly, first President of the Republic
of Azerbaijan, Ayaz Mutalibov, had stressed that the pogrom [in
Khojaly] was orchestrated and carried out by the opposition members
of the Azerbaijani Popular Front [Party], whose objective was to
overthrow the functioning government?" Alaverdyan stressed.
At the same time, she pointed to the mistakes the Armenian side had
committed. As per Alaverdyan, the 1995-1996 initiative that was related
to Karabakh appeared in Azerbaijani hands, and before that, however,
Armenia was performing successfully with a variety of initiatives to
settle the key issue.
