International conference held on the 15th anniversary of Khojaly genocide in The Hague ended, APA reports. Turkish and Azerbaijani politicians, MPs, researches and scientists attended the conference organized by Igdir municipality. Head of Igdir municipality Nureddin Aras said that The Hague was not randomly selected for the conference.
â€œAll just courts of the world are in the Hague. Holding this conference in The Hague is of special importance. Armenians committed genocide against Turks in Khojaly 15 years ago, but the world community continues to ignore this savagery. It is high time that we should publicize Armeniansâ€™ savagery and Armenians should be condemned. We are even late. Keeping silence with regard to the genocide committed by Armenians can mean that we accept Armenian genocide allegations. We should do our best to publicize Khojaly genocide - the last ring of the genocides committed by Armenians. This is our responsibility before the history and our nation. Armenians committed savagery against Turks in Anadolu and most places of Azerbaijan, as well as in Igdir in 1918-1920. Soviet troops emptied 80 Azerbaijanâ€™s villages in 1992. Khojaly genocide was the last ring of armenization of Karabakh,â€? he said.
Azerbaijani parliamentarian Ganira Pashayeva, Elman Mammadov and others said that Armenia occupied 20% of Azerbaijanâ€™s lands and put forward Armenian genocide allegations against Turkey. They stressed the importance of Turksâ€™ uniting against this problem.
After the opening ceremony Professor Anvar Konukchu held a conference. Bilal Shimshir, former Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador, the author of over 20 books about Armenian terrorism, as well as the author of the book â€œOur martyr diplomatsâ€? made a speech on the theme â€œAzerbaijanâ€™s regaining independence and Armeniansâ€?, Resigned Army General Nejati Ozgen on the theme â€œArmeniansâ€™ foreign policy, Karabakhâ€™s occupation and Khojali genocideâ€?, professor Osman Metin Ozturk on the theme â€œIdeal of Great Armenia and Khojali genocideâ€?, Safa Yoruel on the theme â€œStrategy to pay attention to in Karabakh genocideâ€?.
The participants of the conference made speeches on different themes on Khojaly genocide.
