ArmInfo. "Despite the negative lessons of cultivating enmity around
the South Ossetian and Abkhazian conflicts and talks on the Turkey’s
Platform of stability and security in the Caucasus, the neighboring
country’s special propaganda continues poisoning the public conscience
of its people and international community with conflict causing
misinformation", Head of the Institute of National Strategic Studies
of the Armenian Defense Ministry, Major-General, Doctor of Political
Sciences Hayk Kotanjyan said when commenting upon the information
published in an Azeri publication on allegedly upcoming decision
of the Knesseth on creation of a commission on investigating the
genocide against Mountain Jews in the north of present Azerbaijan at
the beginning of the 20th century.

As the RA defense ministry told ArmInfo, Monday, according to
Kotanjyan, the so-called "genocide against Mountain Jews" allegedly
committed by Armenians in the north of Azerbaijan at the beginning
of the 20th century is falsehood imposed on the public conscience of
Israel and Jewish Diaspora by Azeri special propagandists and their
foreign partners. "These actions aim to undermine the friendship
between Jewish and Armenian peoples having very much in common in their
centuries-old history. Besides the gift to support their century-old
cultural and historical identity and develop the intellectual potential
of hundreds of generations, our people are united by the disastrous
hardship of Genocide and Holocaust, as well as by the experience of
heroic surviving and rebirth of statehood as the Republic of Armenia
and the State of Israel", he said.

One thing is clear: the falsifiers’ fuss is immoral, actually, it is
sneering at the memory of Armenians exterminated by gangs of Caucasian
Tatars in places of century-old friendly co-existence of Armenians
and Mountain Jews. Experts of invention of "genocide" are trying to
pass off the remains of these Armenians, victims of the massacre, as
the remains of Jews allegedly killed by Armenians. The matter concerns
the crimes of the gangs which at that time exterminated in the north
of Azerbaijan several thousands of Russian officers and soldiers who
were returning home from the Caucasian frontline, Kotanjyan said.
