Azerbaijan distorts facts about Tigranakert of Artsakh



Doctor of Historical Sciences and head of Artsakh archeological group of Institute of Ethnography Hamlet Petrosyan told reporters Friday the achievements of excavations held in the City of Tigranakert, Artsakh. Doctor also spoke about Azerbaijan’s disposition and comments.
“Azerbaijan’s Academy adopted two decisions over Tigranakert which is available on the webs site of their national security; that states it isn’t Tigranakert at all. They write Azerbaijani researchers have once claimed that no other antiquity can be found there except Afghan-Azerbaijani antiquities,” Hamlet Petrosyan said adding: “If once the Azeri claimed us liars now they say it isn’t Tigranakert.”
Doctor said he read a few months ago in an Azerbaijani story about “Afghan Tigranakert.”

RA Defense Ministry advises Eldar Sabiroglu not to speak about humane norms
July 10, 2010 - 12:54 AMT 07:54 GMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Commenting on recent statement of Azerbaijani Defense Ministry spokesman Eldar Sabiroglu, the RA Defense Ministry stated that it has not received an inquiry about return of the body of Azerbaijani subversive Ibrahimov, who penetrated into the NKR territory on June 18.

“We do advise Sabiroglu to once again look through the pages of history, to recall the Armenian pogroms in Sumgait, Baku, Maraga, the killed and displaced civilians of Shahumyan and Getashen, the Azerbaijani serviceman who axed to death Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan and then to refrain from speaking about humane norms,” the RA Defense Ministry’s statement reads.

Earlier Eldar Sabiroglu issued a statement, saying that allegedly the demand on return of the Azerbaijani serviceman’s body has been repeatedly conveyed to Armenia through international organizations, but Armenia has chosen the “way of ignoring all humanitarian and humane norms.”

Eldar Sabiroglu: “If Armenia doesn’t return body of Ensign Mubariz Ibrahimov, it will create a new precedent”

[ 15 Jul 2010 16:20 ]
Baku – APA. “Armenia finds new pretexts concerning Ensign Mubariz Ibrahimov. Earlier they were claiming that they couldn’t make a concrete step because there was no official address from Azerbaijan.

The Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan reacted to these insidious claims, which are violating the international humanitarian principles, in time. There is a tested concrete experience. Bodies of killed soldiers were left on the opposite side many times. These cases were negotiated with the help of the international organizations, particularly the International Committee of the Red Cross and the bodies were returned in a short time”, press officer of the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan, Lieutenant-Colonel Eldar Sabiroglu told APA. He said despite all obstacles, Azerbaijan would continue its efforts to bring the Ensign Ibrahimov’s body back. “Unfortunately the ICRC initiatives have not brought results yet. Now Armenia put forward a new claim. They told ICRC that Ibrahimov’s body was neither in Armenia nor Nagorno Karabakh. It causes a question: what did the Armenian defense and foreign ministries aim when they stated next morning that Ibrahimov’s body was left together with the arms on the opposite side? What did they hint when kicked up a row that they were not asked officially? Indeed there is nothing mysterious. They demonstrate their traditional national feature once more. They decided to hide the body, which is incompatible with the human values. The Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan believes that the International Committee of the Red Cross will continue its mission till the end. Otherwise the Armenia’s action will create a new precedent and Armenia will be responsible for it”.

Armenia spreads new propaganda 'hoax'
Thu 15 July 2010 | 11:39 GMT Text size:


Edward Nalbandian
Nalbandian exaggerated the number of refugees from Azerbaijan by 12 times.

According to Regnum, on July 13, Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian received newly appointed head of the UN Armenian office on refugees Damtew Dessalin during the meeting with whom the foreign minister said that the Armenian office started its work to provide assistance to “about 400,000 refugees deported from Azerbaijan”.

Nalbandian said that “the Armenian government considers it a top priority to provide flats to the families temporarily residing in hostels after being forced away from Azerbaijan”.

Commenting on this states, AzerTaj’s political reviewer Vugar Seyidov noted that probably the Armenian minister saw “400,000 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan” “living in Yerevan hostels”.

According to Seyidov, this number of Armenians has never left Azerbaijan.

“There were 358,000 Armenian ethnic outside the former NKAO whose population made up 139,000 Armenians and 45,000 Azerbaijanis by the start of the conflict. Some 320,000 Armenians (about 40,000, except for Nagorno Karabakh Armenians stayed) left Azerbaijan in 1988-1994, including 200,000 initially found refuge in Armenian SSR and the rest in other former USSR republics. Later a greater part of Armenians from Azerbaijan failed to integrate with Armenia, left South Caucasus and found refugee in the CIS countries, primarily, Russia.

With the collapse of the USSR and the opening of borders a great many of former Armenian refugees settled in the United States, Canada and Europe. In the result of these migration processes, the number of Armenian refugees in Armenia continued to grow and currently there are less than 35,000 Armenians from Azerbaijan, mostly elderly persons, according to UNHCR and Armenian experts. With the acceptance of the Armenian citizenship and naturalization in this country, under article 1-C-3 of the Geneva Convention of 1051 lost the status of refugees and are no longer the UNHCR target. But even notwithstanding this Nalbandian exaggerated the number of refugees from Azerbaijan by 12 times!

The element of the state propaganda is also the myth about “hostels” and “lack of houses” for Armenian refugees. 207,500 refugees including 186,000 Azerbaijanis, 18,000 Muslim Kurds and 3,500 Russians left Armenia in the years of conflict in 1988-1990. 216 Azerbaijanis (we even have the list of names) were killed during pogroms while the number of the wounded is unclear. Later about 2,000 Russians left Armenia for North Caucasus including Krasnodar and Stavropol, as well as Rostov. A greater part of Azerbaijani refugees from Armenia were engaged in agricultural sector and when leaving Armenia they left hundreds of villages with farms, cattle, lands, pastures and good houses taking almost nothing with them (to compare, most Armenians from Azerbaijan managed to sell or exchange their flats and take their property). If today 35,000 Armenians from Azerbaijan live in hostels in Armenia, who has got the movable and immovable property of Azerbaijanis, Russians and Muslim Kurds?

It is doubtful that Azerbaijani villages in Armenia has the same fate with the settlements in the occupied lands, that were destroyed into bricks, windows and the sewerage pipes dug from underground. Does someone live in those villages now or they are kept empty? Each of 35,000 Armenians from Azerbaijan now living in Armenia accounts for a separate house that belonged to Azerbaijanis and Muslim Kurds before they were forced to flee their lands. In these conditions no Armenians leaving Azerbaijan will be left without a house!

Meanwhile, Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian should better learn to count and then he will probably not be dreaming of 400,000 homeless refugees from Azerbaijan.

Yes Armenia is the one exaggerating.

Demining in Nagorno-Karabakh May Take Cutback
July 13, 2010 - 10:18am, by Jonathan Makiri Nagorno-Karabakh

Video Module by Kaltura
Since the year 2000, the international mine clearance organization HALO Trust has disarmed more than 10,000 landmines in Nagorno-Karabakh left behind by both Armenian and Azeri fighters. The operation, which is funded by the USAID, the British government and private donors, has cleared more than 55,000 acres, or 80 percent of the affected area. But, if a promised cutback goes into effect in 2011, the remaining 20 percent may prove to be a challenge.

HALO stands to lose $800,000, or more than half, of its funding, which will be redirected to mine clearing operations in Africa. In addition to slowing down the demining effort, Nagorno-Karbakh stands to lose dozens of the 200-250 jobs that have made HALO the largest employer in the territory.

“We need to continue getting these mines out of the ground,” HALO’s program manager Roly Clark told EurasiaNet. “The potential drop in funding will just slow this down and threaten safety and economics for these people."

Page devoted to Azerbaijani ensign who heroically died on frontline opened on Facebook – PHOTO
20 July 2010 [18:16] - Today.Az


Azerbaijani users of famous social networking website Facebook have opened a new page devoted to ensign of the Azerbaijani army Mubariz Ibrahimov, who was killed on the frontline in a shootout with Armenian troops in Chayli village of Terter region on June 18.

Everyone who is not indifferent to heroic act of Mubariz can express his/her solidarity and learn a lot of interesting things about him.

At the moment, the page has 871 fans.

Mubariz died heroically after he killed four Armenian soldiers and injured four more in an armed clash at night on June 18. He was later shot by the Armenian side and his body still remains on the territory controlled by Armenia.

Mubariz was only 22 years. He was born in Aliabad village of Bilasuvar region of Azerbaijan. He grew up in a deeply religious family.

He was a brave and a patriot boy who since childhood chose become either a military man or a sportsman.

Re: Armenia and the information war

Sigh, little kids. So this Azeri or Turkish guy(could be a girl I suppose) made a Google panaoramio account with an Armenian name and he uploads pictures of Armenian buildings/etc. with photoshopped Azeri insignia/flags/etc. and titles the pictures with Azeri names or calls them Azeri things.
