Why do Azeri children die at time most suitable for Azeri authorities?August 4, 2011 - 21:22 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The one-sided correspondence between Azerbaijan and UN Secretary General continues. This time, the permanent representative of Azerbaijan to UN, Agshin Mehdiyev decided to involve as many people as possible, addressing copies of a letter to UN Secretary General to all UN members. Rather than cover many accusations against Armenia, Mehdiyev focused on allegations of “a murder of a 13-year-old Azeri girl, as the explosive hidden in a toy by Armenians went off.” The true reason for the death of the child, will, most probably, remain undiscovered. Yet the incident became a pretext for yet another bout of anti-Armenian rhetoric. The tendency’s as follows: Azerbaijan keeps accusing Armenians of ceasefire violation, with Azeri soldiers dying as a result. However, most often than not soldiers are dying on Armenia’s territory, which makes one wonder: why would they be on the territory of Armenia, unless they’re saboteurs? On March 8, Azeri media reported the death of a 9-year-old Azeri boy. Once again, Azerbaijan attempted to shift the blame on Armenia, despite the evidence pointing that an Armenian sniper couldn’t possibly kill the boy. On July 14, the girl died, which caused yet another wave of anti –Armenian rhetoric; with letters addressed to all possible structures, describing Armenia’s “atrocities.” As Artsakh officials rightfully noted, Baku seems to be glad of the death of the children as long as it gives them a pretext to accuse Armenians. Armenian Ministry of Defence refused to comment on the report, noting that Azeri misinformation does not deserve to be commented. The strange thing is that Azeri children perish at times most suitable for Azeri authorities, who make kamikazes of children making them attend sniper courses at schools. Children, who won’t be used as cannon fodder in future are currently sacrificed to the policy of Azeri authorities. Armenians, however, have nothing to do with it.
