    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.
