The hate campaign only serves to increase aversion and prejudice
between the communities - Azerbaijani Youth of Canada Network
Azerbaijan, Baku, March 1 /Trend/
Azerbaijani Youth of Canada Network sent an open letter to Armenian
National Committee of Canada (ANCC), responsing to anti-Azerbaijani
hate campaign launched by the Committee.
"You are spending your valuable time at dishonorable attempts to
discredit another country via a hate-campaign, which is based on
impaired facts (...) Isn't ANCC, as an Canadian-Armenian organization,
supposed to engage in issues related to the Armenian-Canadian
community, or at most deal with problems of Armenia? (...) it is
thought-provoking that you're not spending your resources more
productively, such as working toward the betterment of
Armenian-Canadians, or at most, dealing with the plethora of issues of
Armenia itself, such as poverty, corruption and unemployment in the
country", said in the letter.
Timing of the campain is quite succesful. When there is an increasing
pressure on Armenia about the role it and its leaders, including the
newly "reelected" president Sargsyan played in the Khojaly tragedy and
also in the wake of the obviously rigged andundemocratic elections,
such campaign can only serve to deflect attention from suchissues,
noted in the letter.
It's mentioned in the letter that there is also the continuing fact of
more than two decades of occupation of a significant part of
Azerbaijan and ethnic cleansing of more than 800 thousand Azerbaijanis
from these lands. Coupled with 200 thousand Azerbaijanis expulsed from
Armenia itself, such magnitude of problems- having every ninth
inhabitant a displaced person and devoid of one fifth of its
territory, would create huge difficulties for any country. Thus, if
there are problems in Azerbaijan that ANCC so eagerly plans to cover,
the Armenian contribution to them is obvious.
This hate campaign, maliciously titled "Azerbaijan: 30 Days of Shame"
only serves to increase hatred, aversion and prejudice between the
communities. It amounts to the betrayal of Canadian values, which
highly regard the good will and understanding between different ethnic
groups, noted in the letter.
