ArmInfo. New website of Xenophobia Prevention Initiative organization –
was presented in Yerevan today. The new site presents
the materials which disclose the mass falsifications, organized by
the Azerbaijani authorities around the tragic events of February 26,
1992 near Xocali settlement in the territory of Nagorno Karabakh. The
site has been presented in Russian, English, Azerbaijani, German,
Farsi and French.

"Our website has become a response by the Armenian party, disclosing
the Azerbaijani propaganda in a so-called "Xocali case", since all
those events actually happened not in Xocali but in the suburbs
of Aghdam. The Azerbaijani propaganda has already exceeded all the
reasonable limits by its cynicism: Baku uses the photographs in its
false propaganda, which are in no way related to the tragedy, in
order to "prove the barbarities of Armenians", Head of the Xenophobia
Prevention Initiative Armine Adibekyan said. She also said the
Azerbaijani propaganda actively uses false materials on Aghdam events,
during which residents of Xocali settlement died on February 26, 1992.

The materials regarding the tragedy are replicated by the Azerbaijani
press and different organizations which are engaged in the propaganda
activity. The primary goal of the Azerbaijani party is to shift the
responsibility for the death of people to the Armenian party.

Xocali.net project is called to study and reveal the falsifications
used by the Azerbaijani propaganda regarding the "Xocali case". In
particular, about 20 false photos, used by the Azerbaijani party,
were revealed during investigation. The Azerbaijani propagandists
use photos of the victims of Kurdish pogroms in Turkey, the victims
of the slaughter in Srebrennitsa (Bosnia and Herzegovina), etc. in
order to shock the world community and arise negative attitude to
the Armenian party.

Moreover, fragrant falsifications were found in the lists of victims
of the Aghdam tragedy, which are presented by the Azerbaijani official
structures – embassies and the presidential library.

Materials about the Aghdam tragedy: "Xocali case: Special folder"
(authors: Hayk Demoyan, Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan), interview and an
article of a journalist Eynulla Fatullayev titled "It succeeded to
withdraw the cattle but not the people" are also being gathered
at Xocali.net site. The site also contains video-materials –
interrogations of Turk-Meskhets, which show that despite the warnings
by the Armenian party about Xocali attack, the Azerbaijani military
men did not allow the Meskhet families to evacuate. Xocali.net project
will keep on studying the issue of death of Xocali residents and
falsification of the events by the Azerbaijani propaganda.
