RA Ambassador UN refutes Azeri disinformation about Khojalu
Addressing the participants, Azerbaijani Ambassador to the UN Agshin Mehdiyev addressed the so-called "Khojalu massacre".
For his part, Armenia's Ambassador Karen Nazaryan emphasized that his speech is conditioned by the necessity to denounce the ethnic cleansings perpetrated by Azerbaijan before and during the Karabakh conflict.
He also reminded that ex-president of Azerbaijan Ayaz Mutalibov accused the Azeri opposition of organizing the killings in Khojalu with a purpose to put the blame on the authorities. "Baku provoked the war in Karabakh and thanks to Armenia's interference, the people of Nagorno Karabakh survived," he said.
