Khojalu is Azerbaijan’s lie to conceal Sumgait crime

““We must shout about the Sumgait genocide. The time of keeping silence is over as we have been left alone with our pain,” Chairman of the Assembly of Azerbaijani Armenians Grigory Aivazian said at the meeting with journalists today when he spoke about the 25th anniversary of the Sumgait massacres.

According to him, Azerbaijani Armenians paid a dear price for the Karabakh movement, while Azerbaijan tells lies about Khojalu in order to conceal the Sumgait crime.

“By releasing and glorifying the murderer Ramil Safarov, Azerbaijan has admitted responsibility for genocide committed against Azerbaijani Armenians in 1988-1990,” Aivazian said.

He said they have asked various government bodies of Armenia, including the National Assembly, to recognize the actions committed against Azerbaijani Armenians as genocide.

“The Azerbaijanis shouts about the so-called Khojalu genocide all over the world, but what have we done so far?” G. Aivazian asked.
