Khojalu - after 22 years
One of the significant pages in the Artsakh liberation struggle was
February 26 - liberation of Khojalu settlement (now Ivanian). Thanks to
the military operations, our soldiers neutralized another Azerbaijani
fire-point, from where the towns of Askeran, Stepanakert, and other
settlements were shelled.
The liberation of Khojalu and neutralization of the fire-point took
18 soldiers' lives. Since the liberation of the settlement, activists
of the Karabakh Movement and the Artsakh War, pupils, students have
gathered here every year to pay tribute to the memory of those who
gave their lives, fighting for the liberation of the Motherland. And
each time, the Azerbaijani mass media issue misinformation about the
events. And after 22 years, with the support of the NKR Ministry
of Culture and Youth Affairs and on the initiative the Center of
Information Technologies, representatives of youth organizations and
students organized an action, marching from Stepanakert to Ivanian
and claiming to reveal the truth. In place, the schoolchildren of
Ivanian joined them and they all, with truth-demanding posters,
continued the action.
According to member of the Artsakh War Veterans' Union Vigen
Gabriyelian, the Khojalu operation was caused by military logics - the
Armenians of Artsakh had no other way, because they faced the threat
of new genocide. The artillery shelling of the Armenian settlements
from Khojalu made the Armenian soldiers turn to drastic measures. As
for the deceased civilians, they became victims of the Azerbaijani
political forces' dirty games and intrigues.
On the occasion of the 22ndanniversary of Khojalu liberation, Director
of the Culture Palace of Ivanian Melanya Karapetian delivered a
speech, noting that all the deceased guys had rich and significant
biographies. Their memory should live forever and their courage should
pass to younger generations. It is the duty of each of our today's
and tomorrow's citizens to defend the homeland.
The event participants paid tribute to the memory of the deceased,
expressing gratitude to their parents and relatives.
Active member of the Artsakh national-liberation struggle, leader
of the Askeran initiative group Slavik Arushanian presented his
founded considerations on the real events in Khojalu and the real
culprits. It is known that Azerbaijan presents the Khojalu events as
genocide against civilians. But the reality is different. S.
Arushanian stressed that, first, Khojalu was not a peaceful settlement,
but a military base, which kept making provocations with impunity. The
Azeris violated the air communication, attacked cars, breaking them
and injuring civilians. They gradually started using firearms, and
cases of killing were registered. According to the elaborated plan,
the Armenian soldiers organized a military operation on February 26,
1992. A peaceful corridor was provided for the civilian Azerbaijanis,
or rather Turks-Meskhetins. Today, the Azeris try to distort the
reality and assert that no corridor was provided.
"The majority of the Khojalu people escaped through this corridor,
but unfortunately, the rest left the settlement in other directions. I
was commander of one of the brigades. That day, during the operation,
12 people from Khojalu came up to us. We stopped them and passed to the
police. The majority of the victims were found along he Karkar River,
in the Azerbaijani territory, where out positions ended. The Khojalu
people passed the Armenian positions and ran towards the Azerbaijanis.
But, at that moment the Azeris started firing. The majority of the
victims were found just there. But, the civilians, passing along
the railway, left the territory safely", told S. Arushanian. Today,
the Azerbaijani propaganda presents inflated numbers of victims.
According to deputy commander of the NKR DA division on educational
issues Hayk Grigorian, by the start of the military operation the
Khojalu population amounted to about 4000 people. On the night of
February 26, it was liberated, which corresponds to the existing
standards in strategic and humanitarian terms. The civilians were
provided a corridor to safely cross the border. The Azerbaijani
propaganda machine tries to present the contrary to the international
community. Despite this, the international community doesn't cognize
the Azerbaijani hypothesis of genocide.
Schoolchildren of the Ivanian secondary school and servicemen delivered
speeches at the event. Then, participants of the Khojalu military
operation, together with representatives of the mass media and the
action members, visited the military operation site and presented in
details the 22-year-old events. February 26 was a snowy day, but on the
Azeris' false photos the day was sunny - the events on their photos
were most likely to be those in Kosovo. Slavik Arushanian stressed
that the truth should be revealed and presented to the international
community. To this end, we should conduct active works.
Immediately after the events, Azerbaijani cameraman Chingiz Mustafayev
presented a video material (by the way, Ch. Mustafayev made the video
with a two-day interval, i.e. made it twice, and the corpses were
mutilated during the second shooting). This all was undesirable for
the Azeris, and as a result, they killed him. These frames are real
evidence. According to S. Arushanian, we should seriously struggle
against fraud.
The young people, listening to the stories about the events in Khojalu,
expressed readiness to fight against the Azerbaijani propaganda
machine to ultimately reveal the truth in the information field.
