The ruling New Azerbaijan Party has sent an address to the UN, the
OSCE, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe [PACE] and
the US Congress on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of the
genocide of Azerbaijanis in the Nagornyy Karabakh town of Xocali on 26
February 1992.
The address contained “factual evidence” of the Armenian occupiers’
genocide against the civilian population of Xocali, the party said in
its press release. The move was taken as part of the campaign aimed at
securing the world community’s recognition of the genocide and ethnic
cleansing committed by the Armenians in Karabakh.
At the same time, the New Azerbaijan Party has sent a letter of
appreciation to US Congressman Dan Burton who has called on the
Congress to recognize the Xocali genocide.
