Turkey will take all necessary measures to prevent the events that the
Armenians can hold in 2015 in connection "with the 100th anniversary
of the so-called Armenian genocide, Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan
Ismail Alper Coskun said at the conference named "Azerbaijan
Democratic Republic and the Caucasian Islamic Army" and dedicated to
the 95th anniversary of the liberation of Baku from Bolshevik-Armenian
occupation.
"Armenians have already made the farfetched claims, and those claims
can be expected in the future," said the ambassador and added that
Turkey will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Canakkale Battle.
Coskun also said that the Armenian state ideology is based on
falsification of the 1915 events.
"I hope that all historical events will be studied from the point of
view of archival material, as it was suggested by Turkey and
Azerbaijan," he said.
The conference, which was organized by the ADA jointly with the
Turkish embassy in Azerbaijan and the Turkish Cultural Centre named
after Yunus Emre, was held at the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy (ADA)
on September 19. The event brought together Principal of the ADA
Khafiz Pashayev, Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Ismail Alper Coskun
and other officials.
Speaking at the event, Pashayev emphasized the importance of the
conference, told about the importance of Turkey's assistance to
Azerbaijan. He said that the Caucasian Islamic Army played an
important role in the history of Azerbaijani-Turkish brotherhood.
Then a documentary movie about the arrival in Azerbaijan and fighting
way of the Caucasian Islamic Army led by General of the Ottoman Army
Nuru Pasha was shown at the event.
In 1918, Nuru Pasha commanded the Caucasian Islamic Army, which
consisted of about 13,000 people. In the Geokchay battle Nuru Pasha
defeated the Red Army of Baku Soviet while they begun their attack on
Ganja. On July 20, Caucasian Islamic Army took the strategically
important Shamakha.
To combat the Caucasian Islamic Army British troops under the command
of General Lionel Dunsterville arrived in Baku, but they were forced
to leave the city realizing the impossibility of successful defence of
Nuru Pasha's army. On September 15, 1918, Caucasian Islamic Army
