STEPANAKERT, MARCH 24, ARMENPRESS: International scientific-practical
conference entitled "The state terror of Azerbaijan and the ethnic
cleansing policy against Nagorno Karabakh" kicked off in Stepanakert,
continued its works on March 23 in Shushi town. Before the conference
the participants were present at the requiem ceremony of thousands of
Armenians who fell a victim to the Turkish-Azerbaijani aggression of
different years. The ceremony was held in All the Savior-Ghazanchetsots
Church of Shushi.
Afterward the scientific conference continued its works. A trouble
was expressed in all the presented reports, besides analyses and
assessments, that the Azerbaijani crimes committed against the
Armenians in the 20th century have not deserved any assessment by
the international community.
Senior scientific employer of the Archaeology and Ethnography Institute
of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences, Candidate of Doctoral
Sciences Tamar Hayrapetyan referred to the looting implemented within
two weeks on April 10, 1992 in Maragha settlement of Maragha region
which had about 4 000 residents by the divisions of the Azerbaijani
army, as well as to the planned pogroms against a great number of
peaceful Armenian population. "Eighteen years have passed from that
tragedy, but up today it has not received a worthy assessment, and
about the falsification of Khojalu the whole world knows," she noted.
Culture and Youth Affairs Minister of Nagorno Karabakh Republic Narine
Aghabalyan informed on that occasion that currently works are being
carried out in that direction, and soon the presentation of "Maragha"
website will be held, where the details of the crime will be presented.
Today the scientific conference will sum up the works. Mher
Harutyunyan, one of the organizers of the conference, head of "Kachar"
scientific-cultural center of Shushi said that all the presented
reports will be published in near future in a separate collection.
