The Deputy Speaker of the British House of Lords Baroness Caroline
Cocks gave interview to Aysor.am web site answering to the questions
addressed to her.

To the reporter’s question whether the international community is
so well informed about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to resist the
disinformation spread by Azerbaijan’s campaign, Ms Cocks answered:

"I think currently Azerbaijan wastes much to circulate "Khojalu events"
phrase. But, I know, that Armenian side has informed Azerbaijani side
about the assault, hence giving Azerbaijani people opportunity to leave
the territory. The Azerbaijani themselves say they have been informed
about the assault. I can state, that Armenians have done everything
to escape innocent victims. As the fact that innocent victims are
always tragedy is indisputable. But Azerbaijan gave preference to
use its own people as a living shield, and then the Azerbaijani
campaign used its dead people to resume a show. Khojalu is not the
same as presented by Azerbaijan; they were given a chance to escape
what had happened. Armenians don’t need any campaign, as the truth
is theirs. Armenian Embassies and representation house in different
countries need to make the truth audible. I guess, Azerbaijan can
not win this informative war. The international community should
acknowledge that Armenians are not aggressors, they are victims."
