Maraga massacres were result of ethnic cleansing, says Artsakh presidential spokesman



YEREVAN, APRIL 10, ARMENPRESS/ARTSAKHPRESS. A brutal crime was committed in the Maraga village based on the policy of ethnic cleansing and occupying Artsakh without Armenians, Davit Babayan – spokesperson of the President of Artsakh, said commenting on the massacres committed by the Azerbaijani forces in Maraga on April 10, 1992.

“Taking into account the impunity factor, we see how Azerbaijan becomes more hateful and fascist. The international community should condemn the crime committed in Maraga. Not condemning it will create new grounds for repetition of similar crimes in different parts of the world. Recognition of this massacre by the international community is one of our key and priority tasks”, Davit Babayan said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
