ArmInfo. At his time Azerbaijani President Mutalibov confessed that
the peaceful citizens of Khojaly were exterminated by Azeri people,
Alexander Manasyan, a political expert, professor at the Yerevan
State University, said at a press-conference, Tuesday. According to
him, when the population of Khojaly decided to leave the populated
area via the corridor provided by Karabakh during military actions,
this population was attacked by the "compatriots".
"These dead bodies were lying in the territory which was not under
control of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defence Army. There are numerous
surveys showing the maimed, crippled bodies of the killed people. This
logically shows that Azeri people themselves were scoffing at the
bodies",- Manasyan said.
He added that Czech journalist Mazalova was among the foreign
journalists shooting this sight. Later she met with President
Mutalibov. In his interview given to Mazalova, Mutalibov confessed
that the extermination and scoff at the bodies of killed peaceful
citizens of Khojaly were not the doing of Karabakh self-defence
forces",- Professor Manasyan stressed.
According to him, this crime was committed by the National Front
supporters who were striving for Mutalibov’s resignation and were
supported by Turkish forces.
