Allahshukur Pashazadeh calls on world nations, heads of state, parliaments and international organizations to recognize Khojaly happenings as genocide

The appeal says: â€œExpressing the will and feelings of millions of Azerbaijanis, irrespective of religion, race and nationality I appeal to the world community, heads of state, parliaments and international organizations. I think there can not be a nation, religion in the world that rejects moral values, justify violence, murder, aggression, bloody crimes.

The humanity has always condemned crimes and the actions of the murderers. But unfortunately, Khojaly tragedy of Azerbaijan, one of the bloody pages of the world history, fact of genocide has not received political assessment.

Double standards are inadmissible, but Khojaly tragedy has not been condemned by the world community within 18 years. Over 10,000 civilians of Khojaly were attacked by Armenians on February 26, 1992. 613 people were killed, including the old, children, pregnant women, 1275 people underwent tortures, bodies were insulted. The mankind can not gain prestige by ignoring this savagery.

The whole world acknowledged in word that every criminal, terrorist not depending on their national and religious belonging should be brought to justice before the international law, he said in his address. â€œBut painful reality is that Armenian extremists have not been punished for their crimes so far and no sanctions have been imposed against them despite their indifference towards international organizations, even UN resolutions. Armenian periodical cruelties against Azerbaijan remained unpunished and therefore they occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijani lands and expelled millions of Azerbaijanis from their homelands. They didnâ€™t leave their aggressive plans and committed acts of vandalism in the occupied lands, destroyed cultural monuments, mosques and cemeteries, committed material and spiritual terrorists attacks and misappropriated historic documents and things. What they have to do else that the world attaint them as criminals? How long Armenian interests will be preferred than justice?!

Armenian extremists are inspired by their impunity and continue their aggressive policy keeping the Azerbaijani lands under the occupation, regularly violating ceasefire, misleading the international community creating view of constructiveness in the negotiations and delaying the solution to the conflict. The world community should be vigilant and not to give way to Armenian insidious propaganda and to recognize the bloody massacre committed by the terrorist country, which invaded the otherâ€™s lands and made actions against the human morality and international law.

As a religious figure, I wish peace, happiness and welfare for all peoples in the world. I address the world leaders, parliamentarians, peoples and international organizations to give principal legal value to the aggression and cruelties of Armenians against Azerbaijan and not to be indifference towards the tragedy of our people and to recognize the Khojaly tragedy as an act of genocide against the humanity,
The Creator never forgive attempt upon the humanâ€™s life. Our solemn duty before Allah and mankind is to achieve triumph of justice. Allah blesses us in our good intentions and fair cases!â€
