    Propaganda efforts of Azerbaijan in Italy do not prove their value

    17:48 22/02/2014 >> REGION



    Armenian Embassy in Italy actively opposes the anti-Armenian policy of
    Azerbaijan in the Italian press and the civil society of Italy.
    In particular, the Armenian Embassy in Italy has addressed to the
    editorial-office of "Agenzia Radicale" and "Notizie Geopolitiche"
    publications demanding explanations about published materials
    concerning the Aghdam events of 1992.

    In response the two editorial-offices published the comment received
    from the Armenian Embassy which can be found here and here.

    Through the Italian media the Armenian diplomats, in their comment,
    have expressed their solidarity with 35 thousand Armenians and
    Azerbaijanis, who have become victims of the conflict "because of the
    silence of the international community."


    Noting that the articles of the Italian authors, that reflect a
    distorted view about the Karabakh conflict, may be the result of
    delusion or lack of knowledge, the Armenian side provided series of
    necessary explanations.

    It is noted in particular that some media have spread information
    provided by the ruling regime of Azerbaijan, which according to the
    rating of "Reporters without Borders" organization is ranked the 160th
    in media freedom among 180 countries, and 139th in political and
    economic freedoms' index.

    As for the factual inconsistencies, the Armenian Embassy focused on
    the following: "First of all, the definition of the conflict as
    "clashes between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh's
    sovereignty issue" is misleading. In fact, the main reason for the
    conflict was the deviation of self-determination of the Armenians of
    Nagorno-Karabakh by the authorities of the Soviet Socialist Republics
    Union," the comment reads.

    As for the victims among the civilian population of Khojalu, the
    comment reads, "we should admit that the phrase "Azerbaijani civilians
    were killed by Armenian troops" is irrelevant, which is proved by the
    evidences found in numerous Azerbaijani sources and with some Western
    journalists working in the Caucasus in early 90s."

    "The experts involved in the study of this conflict, know quite well
    that for the Azerbaijani Armed Forces Khojalu served a firing-post in
    direction of Armenian civilians by rockets GRAD. A few days before the
    25th February 1992 the headquarters of the Armenian self-defense
    forces of Nagorno Karabakh informed the Azerbaijani authorities and
    the civilian population by radio about the inevitability of military
    operations needed for the neutralization of the missile base, and
    about the humanitarian corridor left for the evacuation of the
    civilian population," the comment reads.

    Referring to Azerbaijani sources, the authors of the address noted
    that Khojalu resident Salman Abbasov confirms the fact of
    dissemination of the warning-information by the radio about the coming
    attack, and that the local authorities had banned to evacuate the
    residents.

    The address also notes that the civilian population served for the
    Azerbaijani authorities a human shield protecting the missile base.

    In this regard an excerpt from an interview with former Azerbaijani
    President Ayaz Mutalibov is presented, where he, in fact, confirms the
    fact that the incident was organized by the Azerbaijani opposition in
    order to overthrow Mutalibov.

    It should be noted that during the last years in the Italian media
    articles containing one-sided information about the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict have increased. Experts attribute this fact to the presence
    of close cooperation of Azerbaijan and Italy in the energy area. In
    particular, Italy is one of the main importers of Azerbaijani oil, and
    soon it will become the main consumer of Azerbaijani gas that is being
    exported to Europe.
