ArmInfo. Permanent representation of Azerbaijan disseminated an
outrageous letter contained in the document A/64/658-S/2010/78 of
February 8, 2010, issued according to the points 14 and 18 of the
General Assembly’s 64th session agenda, which aimed at raising a new
wave of propaganda of hatred against Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh,
the letter of Armenia’s Resident Representative to the United Nations
Karen Nazaryan to UN Secretary General, received by ArmInfo, says.

According to Nazaryan’s letter, this document was prepared by the
Azerbaijani party in order to discredit Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh
during the current work of the General Assembly via misleading of the
world community through fabrication of impressive falsifications and
slanderous facts and data. "I am sorry about the fact that Azerbaijan
does not stop playing the same game and keeps on representing itself
as a victim of the so-called ‘Armenian aggression’, Nazaryan said.

The message says that description of Khojaly events in the
aforementioned document is a peak of the Azerbaijani speculations,
that Nazaryan make comments quoting the interview of former president
of Azerbaijan, Ayaz Mutalibov with Czech journalist Dana Mazalova.

Mutalibov said that he Azerbaijani opposition and militia were trying
to prevent the evacuation of civilians form the zone of military
actions through a mountain corridor. The Azerbaijani opposition hoped
to come to power via the slaughter of its own compatriots.

"In order to additionally clear up this issue, let me say that
the world community has already become a witness and confirmed
numerous barbarities by the Azerbaijani government with respect
to the unprotected Armenian population. When met the peace and
constitutional claims of people of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
for self- determination, Azerbaijan’s government armed groups of
pogrom-makers, who committed massacres of the civil Armenian population
of Sumgait in 1988. Becoming the first case of the crimes of such kind
throughout the Soviet Union, these mass killings were included in the
case files for trials. As soon as Azerbaijan received an independence,
the county’s government released the convicted defendant and even
recognized them as national heroes", Nazaryan said. " These crimes
were followed by armed attacks against people of the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic aimed at achieving military solution via extermination of the
Karabakh people. For the first, last and all the time it should become
clear that Azerbaijan itself launched a war of aggression against
the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Here in Armenia we believe that the
best solution in this situation is to restore the legitimate claims
of the people of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic to provide certain
inalienable right of nations to self-determination, the message says.
