`Maps, books, postcards, discs, records and other materials about
Nakhchivan’s culture, history and monuments have already been sent to
Azerbaijani Diaspora in Los Angeles.
One of the heads of our Diaspora Javid Huseynov appealed to us and we
sent the materials we gathered from Heydar Aliyev Foundation and
Nakhchivan’s representation in Baku. Armenians again plan to have
debates and present the first part of their film about Nakhchivan,’
parliamentarian Ganira Pashayeva told APA.
The parliamentarian said that materials are also being gathered for
our Diaspora organizations in New York. Ganira Pashayeva said
Azerbaijani students in the US are mainly dissatisfied that there are
very few books about Azerbaijan, as well as Nakhchivan in the US
libraries. Ganira Pashayeva noted the necessity of preparing websites,
books and films about it.
Debates on Azerbaijan’s place in the region and role in energy
security will be held in Georgetown and Harvard universities with
support of Azerbaijani Turkish Entrepreneurs Union in December. We
agreed to devote a part of this meeting to Armenians’ claims against
Nakhchivan. A high-level Azerbaijani delegation will leave for the
US. We should not stop our propaganda a moment.
Armenians have already announced `Nakhchivan stage’ for them and
started separatist propagations. Our Diaspora should be active. I was
said in US that Armenian students assist congressmen free of
charge. All documents, materials are sent with assistants. Our
students should also think about such activities,’ she said.
Ganira Pashayeva offered establishing a body to thwart anti-propaganda
against Azerbaijan.
`We do not fight with Armenia. Armenia is weak in front of us. We are
vis-Ã -vis Armenian Diaspora and we should not forget that they
will continue this activity. They will respond to anti-propagation
against Azerbaijan, write articles on historical realities in foreign
media, publish books, brochures, prepare documentary films, find out
events, panels, positive and negative articles about Azerbaijan,
investigate their source and organize discussions in academic centers.
We need organization which will translate historical books related
with Azerbaijan into English and place it in leading libraries of the
world. This organization should be responsible for the above-said. It
can be subordinate to any organization or function freely. This
organization should also have relations with relevant state bodies,’
she said. /APA/
