/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Invention of `genocides committed by
Armenians against Azeris’ can serve as example of
cheap falsification of Eastern Transcaucasia’s modern
history by the Aliyev regime in an attempt to `create
a counterbalance’ to the crimes committed against
Armenians in the 20th century, director of the
institute of national and strategic studies at the RA
defense ministry, adviser to the defense minister,
political scientist, senior expert of ethnic and
national security political sciences, major general
Hayk Kotanjian said in an interview posted at the
defense ministry’s web site.
`In 1988, by Heydar Aliyev’s initiative the Azeri
government passed the law `On genocide against
Azerbaijanis.’ Thus, denial of the Armenian Genocide
was decorated with absurdity. `The drama of Azeri
public is that it’s duped every spring and involved
into mourning events dedicated to a genocide that had
never taken place.
Baku intellectuals gibe at this dishonest and
dangerous way of `political consolidation of people.’
They do know that massacres of Armenians took place in
the beginning of the 20th century. They do know about
the pogroms of the peaceful Armenian population in
Sumgait in 1988 and in Baku in 1990. The Aliyev regime
does not shun vulgar lies.
The recent campaign of commemoration of victims of
`genocide’ allegedly committed by Armenians against
Mountain Jews meant to cause a clash between Armenians
and Jews. Blasphemously distorting the historical
truth, Aliyev’s manipulators present the mass burial
places of Armenians as the `victims of genocides
committed by Armenians.’
The purpose is to poison the centuries-long neighbor
relations between Armenians of Shirvan and Mountain
Jews and to incite Israel and the Jewish lobby against
Armenia,’ Hayk Kotanjian said.
