events of 1992 in the settlement of Khojaly. This delegation has on numerous
occasions reacted with anti-Armenian propaganda and falsifications on behalf of
Azerbaijani authorities relating to those events.
It would be most relevant to recall the appeal of the international community,
not least the European Court of Human Rights and numerous human rights
organizations, to release the Azerbaijani journalists and human rights activists who
had questioned the version of the Government of Azerbaijan on the Khojaly events.
Armeniareiterates its position, according to which progress in the negotiations
for the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh issue depends, inter alia, on the
establishment of tolerance and restraint from hate propaganda. The Azeri initiative
does not bode well for such objectives”.
Permanent Representative of theRepublicofArmeniato the UN Karen Nazarian requested the UN Secretary-General that the present letter and the attached statement of the Foreign Ministry of theNagornoKarabakhRepublic, in response to the letter of
