«Being a direct participant of the operation to lift the block of the NKR, its only airport and save Stepanakert's starving population, I can reaffirm that the murder of Khojalu peaceful population took place in an Aghdam suburbs was committed by illegal armed detachments of the People's Front of Azerbaijan (PFA),» political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. He regretted that mentions of those guilty of that tragedy have acquired political nature in Azerbaijan and are aimed to form an enemy image of Armenians. «Expressions used by Veliyev and other Azeri functionaries to address the Armenian people can only exacerbate the gap between the peoples and make the Karabakh settlement more difficult,» the political scientist underscored.

He also noted that establishment of stands on Khojalu at Holocaust Museums is a purely political action, which has nothing in common with humanitarian problems. «Israel demonstrates aggression against Lebanon today and does not conceal that Syria will be the next and maybe Iran. It is interesting that these countries were never friends of Turkey and Azerbaijan. It should not be forgotten that Israeli tanks and warplanes are charged with Azeri fuel. Thus, Baku had better speed up establishing stands: after the hostilities in the Middle East are over Khojalu will stop being topical for Israel,» Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan said.
