The Azerbaijani side, including government agencies, is trying to
resort to new falsifications to trample Armenians in the mud. Using
pictures of the people killed in Kosovo, a Kurdish child killed in
a disaster and others, the Azeri side is trying to present them as
proofs of the Khojalu tragedy.
On February 24, the xocali.net website was presented. The website is
designed to expose the Azerbaijani falsification.
Speaking at the presentation, Armine Adibekyan, Chairwoman of the
Initiative to Prevent Xenophobia NGO, and Samvel Martirosyan, an
information security expert, presented the history of distortion of
facts about the by Khojalu strategy in 1992.
To expose the falsifications, the NGO created the
website.
About 20 false pictures have been found. The Azerbaijani side used
them to cause the international community to form a negative opinion
on Armenians. Adibekyan reported that Azerbaijani are using pictures
of Kosovo pogroms of 1999 and others.
The lists of victims have been falsified by Azerbaijan’s government
agencies. Specifically, the name of one person is spelled in different
ways as though it were several people.
Director of the Institute-Museum of the Armenian Genocide Hayk Demoyan
and the political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan provided the
results of their surveys to the website.
Specialists from the openarmernia.com, as well as Public Relations and
Information Center, RA Presidential Staff, rendered their assistance
to the project.
The website has Russian, English and Azerbaijani
versions. The French, German and Persian versions will be available
soon.
