According to the information of the Permanent Representative of the NagornoKarabakhRepublicto the United States of America, Permanent Representative of the Republicof Armeniato the UN Karen Nazarian sent a letter dated 24 February 2012 to the UN Secretary-General. The letter was of the following content:

 

“I regret to note that the representative of Azerbaijanhas once again taken up

an initiative of circulating misleading and deceptive information related to the tragic

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

the representative ofAzerbaijan, be circulated as an official document of the

General Assembly, under agenda items 35 and 39, and of the Security Council.
