AZERBAIJANI TEXTBOOK INTRODUCES ARMENIAN FREEDOM-FIGHTER AS AZERBAIJANI SOLDIER
19:48 ~U 27.01.14
A few days ago, freedom-fighter (participant in the Nagorno-Karabakh
war) Sargis Hatspanyan found out that his photo with an 81-year-old
woman, Sheikha Khanum - which was taken after the liberation of
Qarvachar in 1993 and published with Paruyr Sevak's poem "Mother's
hands" - has been published in an Azerbaijani textbook, which
introduces Sargis Hatspanyan as an Azerbaijani soldier.
"Just a few days ago I found out that I was an Azerbaijani and Sheikha
Khanum's grandson. I learnt about it from an Azerbaijani girl four
days ago. She bet an Armenian boy that I was a Turk [Azerbaijani]. The
boy sent some links to her and she was astounded to see me speaking
Armenian, Azerbaijani and French. She called their editorial office
and told them, 'why are you lying?'"
The photo entitled 'Old Azerbaijani woman and Armenian freedom-fighter'
was for the first time published by the Liberation daily.
In an interview with the Hay Zinvor newspaper, Sargis Hatspanyan told
the history of that photo.
