First secretary of Azerbaijani representation to UN has talks with the leadership of the newspaper publishing photos of those killed during Khojaly genocide as victims of the so-called Armenian genocide

Editor of the newspaper Mikhail Gusev told APAâ€™s US bureau that the representative of the permanent mission will present him the facts proving that these are photos of Khojaly victims.
Armenian journalist Eduard Pariyants published the photos of the two children killed during Khojaly genocide as victims of the so-called Armenian genocide. These photos are published in the main page of the majority of books about Khojaly genocide, so it did not take much time to prove that these are the photos of Khojaly residents.
Editor of V Novom Svete newspaper said he does not intend to make long in investigations and will make decision after comparing the facts presented by Azerbaijan with the published photo. The editor said even if the facts presented by Azerbaijan are well-grounded, he does not intend to dismiss the Armenian journalist or make official refutation. The editor said the newspaper will only provide opportunities for Azerbaijani side to express its position.
The Azerbaijanis living in the US do not agree to it and demand Pariyantsâ€™ dismissal and the newspaperâ€™s official refutation. /APA/
