YEREVAN, JANUARY 20, NOYAN TAPAN. Moscow bookstores are filled with
Azeri books about "aggressions of Armenians" and an attempt is made to
prove that allegedly Armenians appeared in the region only in the 19th
century. Russian political scientist Vladimir Zakharov reported this
at a January 20 press conference. In his words, many specialists are
ready to write books based on real facts by presenting the historic
truth but they have no sponsors. "In my opinion, there should be
state policy in the issue of spreading materials on the massacres of
Armenians organized by the Azeris," V. Zakharov said and added that
the RA President should personally attend to that issue.

According to Director of the Museum-Institute of Armenian Genocide
Hayk Demoyan, formerly Azeris printed books of anti-Armenian content
in Azerbaijan and they had a low quality while now such books are
printed in Moscow and at the highest level. He said that no one is
able to remove from sale those books of not only anti-Armenian but
sometimes of anti-Russian content as according to laws of business
those engaged in printing are interested in selling their products.

H. Demoyan said that a memorial complex of "Azeri genocide" is planned
to be built in Azerbaijan in the place where indeed 200 Armenian
wealthy people and members of their families killed by Azeris are
buried. To disprove that absurd Armenia is ready to financially take
part in the holding of the DNA analysis of the bodies.
