Lieberman, a Soviet-born Israeli politician who also serves as Israel's
deputy prime minister today, was on a delegation that also included
a Knesset member that reportedly attended on February 26 an event
marking the 23rd anniversary of what Azerbaijan presents as a massacre
of civilians by Armenian forces in the town of Khajaly in Karabakh.
The Armenian side blames civilian deaths among Azeris during the
Khojaly operation on the Azerbaijani military, saying that they did
not allow the civilian population to be evacuated despite the presence
of a humanitarian corridor.
Asked by the Armenpress news agency about how Yerevan assesses
the presence of the top Israeli diplomat, as part of the electoral
campaign, at the kind of event organized by the Azerbaijani propaganda,
Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tigran Balayan said: "It is
inappropriate that any politician could allow himself to be dragged
in the Azerbaijani cheap manipulations."
