ArmInfo. On January 8 Azerbaijan shuddered with another "sensation"
of own agitprop and Baku mass media reported that Armenians allegedly
desecrated the cemetery in the Gazakhi region in Azerbaijan. It is
noteworthy that quite doubtful photos were enclosed to some of the
reports. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry had nothing to do but comment
on the tragic but too doubtful incident. Elkhan Polukhon, Sokesman for
Foreign Ministry told APA that the ministry was expecting the results
of the investigation. "Azerbaijan will appeal to the international
organizations if it is proved that it was committed by Armenians,"
he said.

The reason for disseminating such an absurd report was nothing but
the supposition of Adalet Sadigov, the Deputy Head of the Gazakhi
Regional Police Office, that "the act of vandalism was Armenians’
doing." It is noteworthy that the cemetery is in the territory of
Gazakh which is under control of Azerbaijan. It is at least not clear
how could Armenians reach the Azerbaijani cemetery and fight against
the deceased. It is not clear either how should Armenians cross the
front line. It is ridiculous to think that Armenians would risk their
lives just to destroy the Azerbaijani cemetery.

Evidently we deal with a classical display of the Azerbaijani agitprop
led personally by the Azerbaijani president-for-life. Azerbaijani
agitprop had no better choice than to blame the "centuries-old enemy"
for the destructions made by the own citizens. The supporters of
the Aliyevs regime did not have to search for a regular propagandist
tragicomedy given the rich experience of the Azerbaijani militaries
in desecrating the Armenian gravestones in Old Jugha.

The European Court for Human Rights has been considering the case on
desecration of the Armenian cemetery in Old Jugha in the territory of
Nakhijevan for over a half year. There are documental proofs testifying
that desecration of the Armenian khachkars by Azerbaijanis started yet
in 1998. After European countries condemned the facts of vandalism,
the desecration was suspended and then resumed in 2003 and in December
of 2005. There were 10,000 Armenian gravestones before December 2005,
including 3500 khachkars were fully liquidated with bulldozers and
the others were destroyed, buried or thrown to the River Araks by
Azerbaijanis.
