Democratic Azerbaijan
April 26 2006

April 24, from 16:00 PM to 19:00 PM, traffic on Massachusetts Avenue,
known in Washington as “street of Embassies”, was hardened. Gathered
members of Armenian diaspora occupied one side of the road, the
other one was occupied by representatives of Azerbaijani and Turkish
communities. Armenians came to celebrate made-up “genocide” of 1915
at the premises of the Turkish Embassy, and Azerbaijanis and Turks
came there to lay bare their lie, to remind about crimes committed
by Armenians in the course of recent history.

One of the participants of action, Najmiya told us during conversation:
“There was no the so-called “genocide of Armenians”.

And we are not responsible for events took place in Ottoman Empire
in 1915. But Armenians just recently committed more terrible crimes.

Many people know about their crimes in Garabakh”.

To prevent violence, police and diplomatic security forces controlled
situation.

Armenians, presenting the events of 1915 in Turkey as genocide,
cried out slogans with terrorist claims. The calls “Garabakh belongs
to Armenians”, “Van belongs to Armenians” were heard.

In response to it representatives of Azerbaijani and Turkish
communities showed photos of victims of Khojali, transparency
condemning ethnic cleaning and occupation policy of Armenia.

Representative of Azerbaijani community in America from Washington,
Badir Mamadli, said: “In such a way we want to bring to the notice
of Armenians that Turkish and Azerbaijani communities in the USA
have changed. Today we are stronger than yesterday. Only gathered
together we can say them “no”. Their made-up claims against Turkey
and Azerbaijan will have no results”.

Member of Assembly of Turkish Associations of America, Fateh Julha,
having stressed that Armenians living in the USA know nothing about
history, said: “The same protest action we held in New York two days
ago. I talked with two representatives of Armenian youth. Though
they shouted that 1,5 million of Armenians were killed, they had no
idea of historical events they protest. We must to inform not only
Armenian society about truth, but also Armenians living in America”.
