ACTUAL QUOTATION
Richard Bruce (Dick) Cheney, the US Vice-President:
“Recent developments in Georgia began as a result of Russian armed incursion contradicts to some principles in which we deeply trust. The Russian armed forces violated the generally recognized frontiers of the state, unleashed internal conflict, killed innocent civilians and left tens of thousands people without their native homes. The United States and many European countries state openly that steps done by Russia do not meet the civilized standards and are fully unacceptable. The recognition by Russia the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia worsened even greater the situation in region. We respect strongly the principle of territorial integrity. The United States unambiguously support the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan. We are for settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on basis of principle of territorial integrity and through talks within international law.”
From statement during the visit to Baku on 4 September and Rome on 9 September 2008
Rajab Tayyib Erdogan, Turkish Prime Minister:
“If the whole of issue is related to Nagorno-Karabakh problem, we are for regulation of this problem by Minsk Group of the OSCE reaching fair results. At the same time Armenia should fulfill resolutions of the UN Security Council on this problem. Russia, the United States and France which are co-chairmen of Minsk Group should end talks process finally lasting 16-17 years. The way of problem solution should be found.”
From press statement in Ankara on 11 September 2008
Islam Karimov, President of Uzbekistan:
“Uzbekistan is for solution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by peaceful means. We consider also that one of the key conditions of the regulation is ensuring Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. To my view, a model of conflict regulation proposed by Azerbaijan is optimal and mutually acceptable. I am confident that everybody who fairly considers the developments of last 17 years will agree with this idea. The Karabakh problem began in 1988 and those who observe these processes and not only observe but also keep the track of events attentively, I think, unambiguously support Azerbaijan’s position.”
From press statement in Baku on 11 September 2008
Daniel Fried, Deputy US State Secretary for Europe and Eurasia Affairs:
“Georgia, Azerbaijan and Ukraine are in great danger. Within present changing situation the United States won’t hasten to take steps against Moscow. I have big hopes that Russia will reject to recognize these two separatist regions. They will comprehend very soon that as times go on, the more they will be in isolation. This is self-isolation but not actions made by the United States. Today nobody takes Russia’s side.”
From statement in interview for The Financial Times from 1 September 2008
Michael Hancock, Deputy Chairman of Political Affairs Committee of West European Union’s Assembly:
“Azerbaijan is a bridge between Asia and Europe. The Europe is interested in cooperation with official Baku. As regards the fact of occupation of Azerbaijani lands Armenia should free the occupied by it territories.”
From statement at news-conference in Milli Majlis in Baku on 16 September 2008
Goran Lenmarker, Special Representative of PA OSCE for Georgia and Nagorno-Karabakh:
“It’d be expedient Turkey’s participation in talks progressing for solution of conflicts in Caucasus.”
From speech made at the Toronto hearings on 20 September 2008
Viktor Yushenko, President of Ukraine:
“The Ukraine decidedly condemns all committed aggression acts and an armed incursion in region, violation of territorial integrity and inviolability of frontiers of Georgia, does not recognize the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The Ukraine does not recognize and condemn particularly statement of independence by some illegitimate separatist structures in European space. The Ukrainian State will actively follow an active participation in solution of ‘frozen conflicts’ on basis of state sovereignty and territorial integrity, inviolability of frontiers, principles of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.”
From statement at 63rd session of the UN General Assembly in New-York on 25 September 2008
Levon Ter-Petrosian, ex-President of Armenia:
“The essence of cleptocratic regime does not change and is ongoing to guide not by state laws but thieve’ law. There is high-level arbitrariness and plundering of the country is wide-spread, there is not any progress in economy, politics, state racket remains the main tool of authorities’ actions. The present criminal economic policy of authorities can threaten us in the dead of winter but deep crisis will come in spring. I do not see any country in the world which is ready to recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.”

V.B. Kondratyev, former member of the Republican Organization Committee on Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous District (NKAD) from the Armenian SSR.
THE CHRONICLE OF NKAD[left]
(Continuation)
It should be said that by that time (9 January 1990 – Ed.) the district was basically out of any authority as the population considered the Committee on Special Administration had been eliminated while Armenians did not let the Republican Organization Committee to exercise its authority at the place. Such situation was also instigated by the provocative activity of the National Council of NKAD calling people to do their best to impede the Organization Committee members starting their work.
The announcement of emergency situation in NKAD and adjacent districts of Azerbaijan thought to be the only possible and timely decision at that time. The situation in the district caused acute disagreement of the Azerbaijani population in Baku as anti centrist and anti army mood in the city had been growing. The situation in the district was highly tensed. The railway, telephone and telex communication had been ceased. The motor transportation had been limited to inner parts for the district.
The Azerbaijan SSR members of the Republican Organization Committee of NKAD arrived in the city of Stepanakert on 27 January. These were V.P. Polyanichko, M.I. Radayev, Sh.K. Karimov, S.M. Velimammadov. This moment laid the beginning of confrontation between two political powers. The first one was the Organization Committee authorized to rehabilitate the sovereignty of republic within the district based on the Constitution and laws, as well as stop animosity, and encourage social and political development of the district. The second power was the one bringing together local separatists, nationalists, political careerists who wanted to preserve unrest and confrontation to gain more for realization of their ambitious plans. These people organized a strike the same day when the Organization Committee arrived. The strike lasted for two months. 42 leaders and activists of the “movement” had been subjected to a 30-day administrative punishment by the Commandant’s office of the Emergency Zone during January and early February. Such measures helped to reduce nationalist and separatists activities of local people in the district. Mass media had been subjected to strict regulations as well.

This article was written by the former member of the Republican Organization Committee of Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous District (NKAD) from the Armenian SSR V.B. Kondratyev. The “IRS – Heritage” audience is given a possibility to read about the most difficult and tragic years the meaning of which has not been understood so far. The article speaks about the pain of those children who lost parents; fate of wives who lost husbands; children grown without parents and miseries of both nations, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Kondratyev wrote that the root of those events were in vanity of some people in Armenia who had been long claiming parts of Azerbaijan’s territory linked not only to Karabakh, but other territories of that republic too.
Henceforth, as you can see form this material, the situation in the Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Republic had been growing more tensed with the connivance of the country’s leadership. The author of the article took the side of appeasement of those confronting each other as being a member of the center, and admitted all measure taken by the Soviet authorities had been incomplete and seemed being more demonstrative and aimed not against international conflict. As the result of such indecision and often cowardly position of those days leadership in Azerbaijan, the extremist and separatist powers in Karabakh succeeded in seizing the initiative what had led to the well-known circumstances.

Hell in the world-Armenian captivity
A PERSON WHO ROSE TO HEAVEN, RIGHT AFTER RUNNING OUT FROM HELL
(Extracts from documentary story by G. Nasirov about horrible treatment of Azerbaijanis in the Armenian captivity)
(Beginning in the previous issues)
Azar recalls gradually bitter memories: “When I got up next day I saw everyone was upset, nobody spoke, it seemed nobody breathes. All guys could not stop tears. I could not get anything. Ilgar saw me awaken, came over and with a nod of his head asked me to look at the “barrack’s” doors. I looked. It gave me shivers through my whole aching body. A boy who was taken captive by Armenians hanged himself. God forbid, what’s a horror was that! What a life you gave to this kid? Seeing me shocked Ilgar put his hand on my shoulder and whispered without looking in my eyes that bloody bustards raped the boy. O Lord, how can you let such tortures go like that?!
“It was done by that bustard, betrayer” Ilgar yelled and clenched his fist out of the deep emotion.
This time we heard women and children crying outside. Ilham entered and ironically looked at Ilgar saying: “So what you say a chap boasting of honour, can you show your honour?”
“Your honour is known to us. Here is the result of it, look” – Ilgar pointed at the hanged boy.
Ilham turned around and looked at the hanged body of boy, who committed suicide and said without a bit of emotion: “This one got off lightly. See, what will happen to you. You will be taken out now; this was nothing in comparison to what you will see there…”
Natig: “I was severely beat in November of 1995. I hardly was able to move because of the pain. When Pier came from the “Red Cross” it was decided to take me to the hospital, but later it did not happen for the reason not known to me. Ilgar spent all his free time with me when he was not forced to work or being tortured. He took care of not only me, but of others as well. Any time at night one could see he was awaken wondering about our condition, brought water, and managed to find somewhere some bread.
Hostages from Jabrail were kept together with us. Those were Jamal, Ramazan, Murvat and others. The day which Armenians commemorate as the “day of genocide” (as if that day in 1915 genocide happened) Murvat was executed by shooting. Ilgar said that he had kept in mind the physical appearance of the Armenian who shot Murvat. I would not know rest even in the grave if not having taken revenge for this”.
Azar made a break in his talk, took a deep breath, closed eyes with his palm, and said with trembling voice while having shed a tear: “Each time I remember those days, I feel as if a sharp knife is cutting inside of me. My body aches as the wound rubbed with salt…
The horrors of that day will never be erased from my memory even in the hereinafter. Armenians raped our captive women right in front of us, trying to inflict with this deeper and incurable moral wounds, which were worse torments rather than physical ones. Once, when a horrifying event took place, suddenly someone from us shouted: “Gulgaz!”. A woman turned to the side she heard the voice from, and screamed “Rahim!” She struggled to get out of hands of an Armenian who held her to run to her husband Rahim. She suddenly bit the hand of holding her Armenian, and run to her husband. Oh, Lord, what a terrible moment! Armenians stopped husband and wife from reaching each other. A strong heat by the machine gun butt left Rahim unconscious. Two Armenians grabbed Gulgaz and dragged her away a bit. Then they poured a bucket of water on Rahim to make him regain consciousness. After that he and Gulgaz were tied up to different trees…”

ARMENIANS ELIMINATED THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE IN GUBAThe archaeological excavations at the site of mass burial in the Guba District of Azerbaijan have been completed
According to the head of the team Gahraman Agayev’s statement given to APA agency, the excavations at the mass burial site found in Guba, have been completed. According to him the excavations underwent three stages: “As it is known, two wells, and two ditches were found during the excavations. 211 skulls were found in those ditches. We can find the number of buried people based on the number of skulls. Our research outcomes led us to conclude that approximately 300 people were buried in the first well. This proves that more than 400 people were buried in the area. The figure is rough as the number of buried people in the well is not precise. However, one should consider a number of bones might have been destroyed due to landslides in the area. Considering all aspects we may talk about more than 600 people buried here. But our findings so far let us say about more than 400 corps lying here”.
The Head of archaeological team also said that starting from the beginning of excavations and so far no traces of gun fire have been revealed: “This means people were killed with blunt objects using egregious tortures. People were killed in the nearest bath, and corps were thrown into wells”. Agayev spoke about a shocking fact in one of the interviews: “Many skulls have traces of being punched with nails. It means that one of the torture methods Armenians used was punching their victim’s head with nail”. Talking of wells filled with corps of people, the scholar said: “The first well’s depth is 4.2 meters with 5-meter diameter. It is a pity that the landslide has changed the depth and diameter of the well leaving the first as 2 meters and diameter of 5 meters nowadays. We managed to save this size after the landslide. While cleaning out the second well we came to the conclusion of being unable to save this well. It was 2-meter depth well with 2.25-meters”.
The scholar spoke about noteworthy fact that no ethnography remnants were revealed during the excavations: “No buttons or other decoration objects have been found during the excavations. However, during clean-up works in the second well a copper medallion was found lying next to a child of 5-6. It is the only ethnography remnant found in the burial place. This means that the disgusting Armenian murderers had not abhorred from stripping people of their clothes and looting all decorations prior to killing them. The incident took place in the beginning of May in 1918. But in reality the genocide continued for nine days until Armenians left the area on 10 May in the evening receiving an order from Shaumyan”.
Agayev also mentioned that Norilski who was the member of the Emergency Commission of People’s Council left his memories about the incident: “Norilski writes that had never seen as people were killed with such brutality. According to him, in Guba only, more than 2000 people were killed in their houses. The detachment of 2000 people arrived in Guba, and out of all soldiers only 5-6 were Russians, and the rest were Armenians. Norilski says that Armenians had one goal only – killing all Muslims. These are all history sources”. Noteworthy that Stepan Shaumyan send such letters, which are kept in archives, to Amazasp who was one of main murderers of the Muslim population, and Lalayan, who slaughtered population in the south of Azerbaijan. There was a letter from Lalayan to Shaumyan after the mass killings in Guba, which said that Shaumyan’s order had been implemented. It did not take much time of Shaumyan to reply and call Amazasp as the “national hero”.
According to G.Agayev, the burial site covers 514 square meters. In spite of ongoing research on 494 square meter area, 20 square meters remain intact: “After the speaker of the Milli Majlis (Parliament) Ogtay Asadov visited the site we have decided to keep certain part for international experts. We have decided so that international experts may see everything by themselves. 20 square meters have been left for them in the south-western side of the site”.
It should be noted that mass burials will move under the authority of the local executive power so that the construction of museum may start. The scholar also said that the Institute of Archaeology and Etnography of the National Academy of Sciences has prepared recommendations on the establishment of museum. Agayev specified of considering the need to build museum of glass: “To have a possibility of demonstration of bones excavated in the burial site, we need to build a museum of glass, meaning that all walls must be from glass with a big monument”.
We shall add that based on archive materials, the area between Guba and Gusar Districts of Azerbaijan known as “Ganly Dara” what means “Gorge of Blood”, became the place where Armenians killed alongside with Azerbaijanis about 3.500 people of Lezgi minority and Jews.

ARMENIA: THE SECRETS OF A “CHRISTIAN” TERRORIST STATE
The Armenian Great Deception series Volume I
(beginning in previous numbers)
Second volume
Early stages
Who claims to the lands of modern Turkey – great civilizations of the past or Armenia?
Professor Ovanesyan openly ignores the facts of annihilation of Turks. The Armenian Republic is a book of lack of balance based on facts, and has nothing to rely on. Prejudiced opinions, half-truth and deliberately given false evidence have been reflected in the book, leaving no place and attention for other facts which stayed unnoticed to let write the history satisfactory for Armenians. Written as the result of selective approach to facts and numbers, and the “custom-made history”, has nothing in common with scholarship or Christianity.
It must be noted that in 1800 Armenians were scattered throughout the territory of modern Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Eastern Turkey. Apart from a little reputable groups located on small territories, Armenians constituted minority of population in those countries. After the occupation by Russians of the south of the Caucasian mountains, they expelled the Muslim population from the territories taken under their control. Muslims were replaced by Christians; Russians needed population bowing to the Christian state. Christian Armenians were seen as central point of this policy, and this was the reason to fill in the place of expelled Muslim proprietors with Armenians. It was the beginning of the policy when Armenians have been given something for no charge which continues so far. The main Armenian loyalty was directed toward the church. Numerous Armenians had been tired of living in the Muslim regime, and while moving them to Russia, and giving them vacant lands, a goal of turning these lands into a part of the Christian state had been set.
Interesting to note that prior to moving to the heart of modern Armenia – Iravan Guberniya, the majority of population there were Muslims. Russians heaved Armenians into their places, and the main true fact about Armenians’ arrival in these lands which they call now as “historical homeland” is this. They are not at all from the tribe of Noah mentioned in the Bible on these lands as they claim, but they were moved here by Russians in 1827 and 1878.
Many of Muslims had been dying at the time of forceful expulsion by Russians. Approximately one third of Muslims, who were expelled from their native lands and deprived of all property, could not survive and died. Today Armenians do not talk about the settlement in the “ancient” homeland. They will never say a word about appropriation of vacated Muslim lands at the expense of numerous deaths among the latter.
Between 1827 and 1878 Russians forcefully evicted around 1.3 Muslims. Russia launched wars against the Ottomans in 1828, 1854 and 1877. Every time Russians seized lands, but later had to withdraw. When Russians retreated, Armenians panicked that Muslims would take revenge for carnage, and had left with them. In this way hatred grew from both sides.
In 1890 Armenian rebellions broke out in Eastern Anatoly. As the result numerous Muslims and Christians had been annihilated. At the time of Russian Revolution of 1905 similar incidents recurred in Azerbaijan.
As soon as the World War I started the civil war between Christians and Muslims broke out. Armenian revolutionists, majority of them were trained in Russia, tried to seize the main part of Eastern Anatoly using arms. They seized defenseless city of Van, and kept it until Russians arrived. Armenians exterminated the majority of population in the city and neighboring villages. After the official end of war, mutual killings continued for two years, until 1920. Turkish Ottoman Muslims and Christians had been dying of hunger and diseases.

NATIONAL HEROES OF AZERBAIJAN
“Dear dad, wish you happy fiftieth birthday!”
Relatives and close friends gathered by his pictures at the house where the Farzaliyevs family have settled after the Armenian occupation of the Fuzuli district. Right in front of the picture three young people are sitting shedding tears; one of them is a boy and two others are girls. One of the girls having kissed the father’s picture said quietly: “Dear dad, wish you happy fiftieth birthday!” These are children of the Karabakh War martyr, who fell as a hero sixteen years ago…
Pakhlivan Farzaliyev was born on 27 September 1958 in the village of Gobu Dilagarda in the Fuzuli district of Azerbaijan. After finishing eight-year school in his village, Pahlavan continued his studies at Shusha Agricultural Vocational School. After finishing the vocational school in 1978 he turned back to Fuzuli to start working as a zoo technician.
Pahlivan had long been training in wrestling, and participated in competitions at school. While working he kept on going in for sport, and became once the champion of Karabakh in Shusha. It seems that his training made him tough and adroit what proved being very useful in the future. From 1979 through 1981 he passed the military service in the Soviet Army, and afterwards left for Aktubinsk, Kazakhstan to serve at law enforcement agency. At the same time, Pahlivan continued his education, and in 1986 he joined the Motor transportation faculty of Orenburg Polytechnic University. After four-year service in law enforcement bodies of Aktubinsk city, P.Farzaliyev turned back home as a lieutenant in 1990.
This was the time when Armenian day by day fueled up their anti-Azerbaijani politics, and performed atrocities against Azerbaijanis. Pahlivan was assigned to be the duty inspector at the Internal Affairs Department of the Fuzuli district. In March 1991 he commanded the third platoon of newly formed patrol police. He excellently performed his duties while working at both of the positions. His excellent service earned him a trust, and he was assigned to one more position to command the armored troop carrier staff.
When Armenians launched their undeclared war against Azerbaijan, Farzaliyev was one of the first to join the struggle against the enemy. His staff honorably fought to death to protect frontier villages of the Fuzuli district. Pahlivan was a model serviceman for those serving with him. Owing to his valor, a group of Armenian militants and one of enemy’s armored troop carriers were destroyed at the village of Khalafsha. The fierce battle for the village of Gadjar on 11 April 1992 became the last one for Pahlivan. He became the primary aim for Armenian militants as being the one inflicting major losses on them. The enemy achieved the goal. P.Farzaliyev was killed during the battle as a hero… He left three children…
According to the Decree by the President of Azerbaijan dated 8 October 19992, Pahlivan Farzaliyev awarded the honorary name of the National Hero of Azerbaijan post-mortem.
The hero was buried in the occupied village of Gobu Dilagarda of the Fuzuli district. One of Baku’s settlements was named after Pahlivan…
Glorious pages of the Azerbaijani History
90th ANNIVERSARY OF THE HEROIC SALVATION OF BAKU
15 September of this year the people of Azerbaijan celebrated the 90th anniversary of the glorious day of salvation of Baku city from combined forces of Armenians and Bolsheviks, as well as the British interventionists by the Caucasian Islamic Army (CIA). The Army consisted of the Turkish Troops and the newly established National Army of Azerbaijan led by the Turkish general Nuru pasha.
This date serves as a symbol which proves one more time the fact of brotherhood between people of Turkey and Azerbaijan. It is one of the glorious parts of the Azerbaijani history and its people that culminated with liberation of Baku, which was the brain and heart of the country.
Background of attempts to separate Baku from Azerbaijan
Starting from the end of 19th century, the nationalist Armenian party of “Dashnaktzutyun” had set a goal of creating mythical “Greater Armenia” stretching from the sea to the sea, and launched its plan of stealing Azerbaijani lands and violating rights of neighboring peoples. Armenians had been gradually implementing this plan. Initially they managed to establish the little Armenian Republic on Azerbaijani lands; more exactly on the territory of Iravan Khanate (later it was transformed into the Iravan Guberniya) of nine thousand square kilometers. This area later grew up to forty thousand square kilometers, and in the end of 1980s and the beginning of 1990s Armenians launched a military operation which resulted in occupation of Nagorno Karabakh and 7 neighboring districts of Azerbaijan. Thus, Nagorno Karabakh was included into the Armenian plans of creation of so called “Greater Armenia”, however, at different times the majority of population in Nagorno Karabakh were Azerbaijanis. This fact has been proved by numerous historical documents and authors, even Armenian ones, as the Armenian history professor V.A.Parsamyan who wrote in the “History of Armenian people – Ayastan 1801-1900”: “Prior to unification with Russia, the population of Eastern Anatolia was 169.155 people. Out of this number 57.305 or 33.8% were Armenians, 84.089 or 49.7% were Muslims, 26.911 or 16% were Kurds, and 850 or 0.5% of other nationalities”.
After signing of the Treaties of Gulistan (12 October 1813) and Turkmanchay (10 February 1828) between Russia and Iran, the mass movement of Armenians from Iran and Turkey to he South Caucasus started. Their number reached 1.242.700 people, and the majority of them were settled on the territory of Azerbaijan where their number reached 1.300.000 in 1908. It is quite natural that the process of Armenian settlement meant the displacement of local Muslim population which led to further tortures of the latter, and destruction of their villages and property. For instance, between 1905 and 1920 about 10.000 Azerbaijani villages were destroyed on the territory of Armenia while the population of those villages was exterminated.
Led by the well-known idea of creation of so called “Greater Armenia”, Armenians launched implementation of the next stage of their plan. The next stage was the seizure of Baku city which was the capital of newly established sovereign Azerbaijan. Being an integral part of this activity, Stepan Shaumyan was assigned as the Commissar Extraordinary on the Caucasus Affairs by the Council (Soviet) of Peoples Commissar on 16 December 1917. Shaumyan prepared a special plan on Baku. Later he used against population in Baku those detachments of Russian and Armenian soldiers who withdrew from Iranian and Turkish borders, and were deployed in the city. Shaumyan was in search of a reason to start the extermination of population in Baku, and attempted to seize weapons of the Muslim soldier from Lenkoran based division. S.Shaumyan incited Russian Bolsheviks against Azerbaijanis. This led to one more bloodshed in Baku. Thousands of innocent people were basically slaughtered in streets.
.
Critical times in Baku
The situation in the young and independent country was getting towards its culmination by the summer of 1918 as a result of the combined Armenian and Bolshevik “activity”. The allied Armenian and Bolshevik Armed Forces had more than 30.000 soldiers, raged Azerbaijani regions, particularly in Ganja which was the temporary capital of the country, as well as in Goychay, Kurdamir, Guba, Hajigabul, Shamakhy, Agsu and Salyan. It happened when the Azerbaijani Army was getting formed only.
Armenians spread mass killings of Azerbaijanis throughout the country. Under the cover of establishment of Bolshevik state, Armenians slaughtered thousands off Azerbaijanis in Baku, Shirvan, Guba, Lankaran, and Kurdamir. Mass annihilation of villages and settlements covered 58 villages in Shamakhy, 7.000 people were killed and 122 villages destroyed in Guba, 150 villages in the mountainous parts of Karabakh, 115 villages in Zangazur. 211 villages of Ravan Guberniya and 82 in Kars province were totally burnt down. Mass killings on those territories continued trough 1919-1920.
The Cabinet of Ministers led by Fatali Khan Khoyski had to announce emergency situation on the territory of Azerbaijan on 23 June 1918 due to very difficult situation in the country. Support to the Army became the all nation’s duty. The Azerbaijani Army was provided with 6 Artillery guns, 21 machine-guns and 1 armored train.
The situation in Baku got worse when the British detachment led by Stoks joined the Armenian and Bolshevik Forces. The threat of separation of strategically important Baku from the rest of country was in the air. More exactly, the city was controlled by the enemy, and there was a threat of losing it. Not only Russians and Armenians dreamed of gaining control over the city. There were others too, as English and Germans. “In 1918 the British lion leapt towards Baku to prevent the German eagle from perching on oil derricks of Baku”, – wrote the former member of Azerbaijani delegation to Paris Peace Conference, and later living in exile Miryagub Mirmekhtiyev in his book on “Caucasus problem”. At this time, the priority for the government of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) was to liberate Baku from the aggression of joint Armenian, Russian and British forces. The Government of ADR was forced to seek assistance from Turkey. In accordance with the Treaty of Friendship signed between the Ottoman Empire and The Republic of Azerbaijan on 4 June 1918, the Turkish side committed itself responsible to provide military support to the young ADR to regain its territorial integrity. The fifth and the fifteenth divisions of the Turkish Army with 15.000 soldiers were sent to Azerbaijan. The joint forces of the Turkish military detachments and the Azerbaijani Army helped to form the Caucasus Islamic Army commanded by Nuru pasha. The continuous attempts of the Turkish and Azerbaijani military leadership made it possible to assemble up to 18.000 soldiers and officers in the Caucasus Islamic Army.
At price of fierce battles Ganja, Kurdamir, Goychay, Guba, Salyan and other regions were liberated from the enemy with short time. This success led to
The triumphant march to Baku
Despite having difficulties the joint Turkish and Azerbaijani forces could force the enemy out of their positions. However, it was in the beginning of August when 1500 soldiers and officers commanded by Densterwill arrived in the city while the joint Turkish and Azerbaijani forces were in outskirts of Baku. The planes and artillery shells of the Caspian fleet impeded the advancement toward the city so that battles dragged on. By that time, the Armenian and Bolshevik forces lost around 2000 people, while the joint Turkish and Azerbaijani Army’s losses reached 600 people.
Nuru pasha spent lots of efforts to get prepared for the second advancement. He was lucky to receive assistance from the 106th regiment and 15th division led by Suleyman Izzet bey arriving from Gumri. The fifth infantry division was led by Mursel pasha; Colonel Jamil Jahit bey commanded the southern army group; lieutenant-colonel Halim Pertev bey commanded the forth regiment within the southern group which was comprised of Azerbaijani forces. The intense advancement on Baku started at night of 14 September. The enemy was forced to withdraw leaving thousands casualties on the field. By the noon the first defense line was taken, and the second one was taken in the evening. The strategic heights of Wolf’s Gates (Gurd gapysy) and Bayil were taken by the fifty sixth regiment, while the fifteenth infantry division took Balajar. The Mashtaga garrison of Azerbaijani forces with a quick attack took positions in Sabunchu. The Turkish artillery shelled military facilities in the city. The leaders of Armenian militants responsible for killings of Muslims in the city left their soldiers and boarded ships ready to set sail off the city. By the evening on 14 September the ship of the thirty ninth British brigade left the city too. We need to say that generals as Enver pasha, Kazim Karabekir pasha, Khalil pasha Kut, major Hamid bey, and Azerbaijani militaries as general Aliaga Shykhlinski, colonel Habib Salimov and others played decisive roles bringing freedom to the Azerbaijani land.
Two parliamentarians came to the headquarters of the fifth division to discuss terms and conditions of the city’s surrender. Nuru pasha had very clear conditions: 1. Unconditional surrender; 2. Soldiers who defended the city must surrender; 3. Hand over weapons, ammunition, properties and facilities; 4. All Turkish, German and Austrian prisoners of war kept on the island of Nargin must be released; 5. Hand over ammunition depots, weaponries, vehicles, armored vehicles, planes, etc.
With the liberation of Baku, the Azerbaijani government established its authority with the republic. To celebrate the occasion a grandiose rally took place in front of the building of male gymnasium which served to accommodate the government of ADR. On 16 September 1918 Nuru pasha, who freed the country and stopped the Dashnak disorder, watched the glorious march of the army in the everlasting capital of Azerbaijan Baku city. Thus, 15 September became a part of the Azerbaijani history as a glorious day of liberation of Baku.

THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KHOJALY GENOCIDE ARE TO BE SUMMONED TO TRIBUNAL!
The “Center for Protection of Rights of Refugees’ and IDPs of Azerbaijan” has presented lately its project on “Independent public tribunal of Khojaly”.
Tatyana Chaladze, head of the center, said that the project aims at having a public trial of those responsible for Khojaly genocide, and producing a film on the tribunal results. The list of accused ones include names of the current Armenian president Serj Sarkisyan, ex-presidents Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Robert Kocharyan, “ex-president of Nagorno Karabakh” Arkadi Gukasyan, 366 regiment’s second battalion commander and the current Armenian defence minister Seyran Oganyan, third battalion commander Yevgeni Nabikikhin, first battalion chief of staff Valeri Chitchyan and others responsible for the tragedy.
Chaladze also said that written notification on the Independent public tribunal will be sent to all accused ones. If they can not personally participate in the process then may appoint their representatives to come to Baku. We have received security guarantees for participants of the process. It has been said that one of the defendants will send his representative to Azerbaijan.
The court trial should take place on 26 February 2009, on the anniversary day of the tragedy. It is being planned to invite representatives of 12 foreign states, lawyers, public activists, scholars, as well as representatives of the Prosecutor General’s office, Military Prosecutor of Azerbaijan, a lawyer from the Bar of Azerbaijan, and the chair of court.
People from Khojaly will be invited as witnesses during the trial to give testimonies about Armenian atrocities. Chaladze stated: “The idea of having the public tribunal is to prove the fact of genocide against the population of Khojaly; to let Azerbaijani and international community hear about new evidence of the tragedy, and to have international military tribunal on Khojaly events”. The testimonies by people from Khojaly would help to develop full picture of what crimes against humanity had happened in that Azerbaijani town, and the process will be filmed. Representatives of authorities will record speeches of those from Khojaly so that it may serve as the precedent of legal form, and help to further develop
Legislative Act at the Milli Majlis (Parliament) to let the people from Khojaly receive the status of “genocide victims”.
The process protocols including the film will be sent to the International court to establish Military tribunal on Khojaly under the article of “crimes against humanity”. This would allow considering the genocide in Khojaly alongside with tragedies of Songmi, Khatyn, Lidica.
It should be mentioned that the Khojaly genocide is one of the worst tragedies that humanity has ever encountered in the twentieth century. At night from 25 through 26 February of 1992, the Armenian armed forces and miltant groups of Nagorno Karabakh with direct support of the 366th motorifle regiment of the former Soviet Army based in Khankendi, entered the area between Khankendi and Asgaran, and razed the town of Khojaly to the ground. It was yet another implementation of the Armenian genocide policy against Azerbaijanis. 613 innocent people, including 63 children, 106 women, 70 elders were massacred in the town. The only reason for such atrocities was the fact that the population of Khojaly was Azerbaijani. Dreadful tortures were used to kill people. Heads were chopped off, eyes were put off, pregnant women were disemboweled, and many were scalped…
Such atrocities must not stay unpunished.

THE MINSK GROUP INFLUENZA
The chances of changing the negotiation format seriously concerns Armenia
It has been more than 15 years as the Minsk Group of OSCE represented by co-chairs from the US, Russia and France, has been dealing with the settlement of Armenian and Azerbaijani conflict. However, the result or even inactivity of the group can easily be seen. The reason is that actions by the MG are incompatible with basic international principles and are often apt to double standards. But let’s leave this problem aside.
The current situation may question the very existence of the MG in its previous format which causes it live through its worst times. The case is that Russia as one of the co-chairs in the group, positioned itself in a kind of “offside” since its aggression against Georgia. The US and French co-chairs’ visits to Baku in the second half of September without their Russian colleague would clearly indicate that. Moreover, the US co-chair Matthew Bryza stated that his country will not collaborate with Russia on the settlement of Karabakh conflict unless the latter implements Sarkozi-Medvedev agreement on Georgia. “After what happened in Georgia, the Minsk Group of OSCE can not work as it did before”. He clearly indicated that to partnership between the US and Moscow, including within the MG, is impossible, until Russia withdraws its troops from Georgia and implements terms of Medvedev-Sarkozi agreement. However, in the end of September they convened in New-York where made a common statement that told the same old story to solve “Nagorno Karabakh problem through peaceful negotiations only”. We definitely do not ignore the peaceful resolution of the conflict. But, dear readers, you all have been able to see the impossibility of peaceful resolution of the situation with Armenians who clearly understand of being wrong. How many decades shall Azerbaijan stand Armenian whims?
We should note that the ongoing processes within the Minsk Group amplify doubts on its ability to survive and stay in the same format while having shattered any trust in the MG among the Azerbaijani population. Thus, the question is whether changes will take place. If everything stays the same would that yield any positive results in the resolution? Anyway, our 15-16-year old experience makes us less optimistic in this regard.
Meanwhile, a new power has been showing its activity in the process. After visits paide by the president Abdullah Gul to Yerevan, and Rajab Tayip Erdogan to Moscow, as well as the meeting of foreign affairs ministers of three countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkey in New-York to discuss the resolution of Karabakh problem, Turkey has actively joined the process.
It seems that Armenia had been seriously concerned with the fact of Turkey’s activity, and it was not a coincidence the Armenian president Serj Sarkisyan spoke out his anxiety: “The possible changes of negotiation format on Nagorno Karabakh conflict may have serious threats”. It is quite obvious that Armenia would never agree on Turkey’s mediation in the process, saying “Turkey may never be unprejudiced in Karabakh conflict as it takes Azerbaijan’s side and thus, con not be a mediator”. But, first of all we need to say that being fair does not mean taking one’s side. From the other side, who would guarantee that none of the co-chairs takes Armenia’s side?
The Minsk Group is being sick with influenza right now, while the regional situation is very dangerous…
INTERNATIONAL ELDERS DAY
Celebration of Elderly Azerbaijanis
1 October the Secretary General of UN Pan Gi Moon announced his statement on the International Elders Day. The Secretary General spoke about exceptional meaning of this day on the eve of the 60th anniversary of adoption of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, and stated that such issues as encouragement of elderly people’s independence, participation and dignity have been included into the agenda of the UN, and has crucial meaning for the implementation of Madrid International Action Plan on Ageing Problems. “While adopting this plan, member countries of the UN pledged responsibility to “eradicate all forms of discrimination, including discrimination based on age”. They admitted that “all persons shall have chances to conduct valuable, healthy and safe life, as well as active participation in economic, social, cultural and political life of the society”. The statement also says they have decided “to strive for respect of dignity of elderly people, and eradicate all forms of disregardful attitude towards them, abuse or violation”.
Further, the SG expressed his concern of situation in the world with observance of elderly people’s rights: “Despite this commitment the rights of people in many parts of the world are being violated every day. Elderly people often suffer discrimination at the work. In social life they might be deprived of recognition and respect. They might not have possibilities for full participation and self-realization in social, economic, cultural and political affairs. It is very concerning that in many countries cases of lack of care of elderly people, inhuman treatment and violations against them are not rare and isolated”.
In fact, cases of violation of elderly people’s rights in many countries raise concerns not only of the SG of UN, but of the whole humanity. However, the current situation seems to be natural. In Azerbaijan, the situation with the bulk of elderly people has long been out of all limits. The last 20 years have become the heaviest and grieved period. The only reason is the Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan which has been launched since the end of 1980s, and ongoing in the present. More than twenty thousand citizens of Azerbaijan were killed as the result of Armenian aggression. Many of those victims were elderly women and men. The elderly people suffered all possible tortures and torments while the Armenian armed forces occupied regions of Azerbaijan as Nagorno Karabakh and seven neighboring districts.Only in Khojaly around two hundred out of thousand of massacred people were elderly women and men. Museib and Mahammad Jafarovs who were brutally killed in the town were at the age of 97. There were others as Sarvinaz Ahmadova and Yakhshy Mustafayeva of 92; Medina Abyshova, Manzar Ismayilova and Rahim Talibov of 84; Salah Abbasov of 83; Minara Abyshova, Agababa Imrani, Gunesh Hasanova and Bagdad Jafarova of 82; Azim Azizov and Maya Abdullayeva of 81; Durna Ahmadova of 80; Islam Aliyev of 79; Alakbar Aliyev – 77; Sariya Khudayarova of 76; Sugra Abbasova of 75; Ali Abyshov, Saleh Abdullayeva and Safarali Mammadov of 74.
These are only minor samples out of many those proving Armenian atrocities against ageing people. There were many elderly men and women killed, burnt alive, smashed by tanks in such settlements as Malybeyli, Agdaban, Gushchular, Meshali, Garadagly and other occupied towns and villages of Azerbaijan. There are so many parents who have to bear in their hearts the pain of losing their kids! So many of them have been expelled by the Armenian armed forces from their native lands, and being doomed to live as refugees, and strife with everyday problems. So m any elderly citizens have been deprived of rights and chances of being buried in their native cemeteries left in the occupied territories, and being desecrated by the Armenian bandits!
Hail the SG of UN for reminding of elderly people, and celebration of their International day.
In fact, it is not sufficient. We need to see that the UN is able to prevent such calamities of elderly people, and heal their wounds. Elderly people are a living history of humanity, the link between past and present, and future. They are carries of wisdom and experience of life, purpose and patriotism. Every person would go to his declining years, having been happy to gain it from the destiny. One’s respect to elderly people is a money-box for his/her own respect …

SARKISYAN’S PRESENTATION OF ARMENIAN CYNICISM
Readers may blame us for using the word of “cynicism” in its single meaning which might be interpreted as “shameless, cheeky behaviour and attitude to something with disregard of public moral”. You would be totally right, but…
However, we often use this term for one simple reason as it is a more or less proper and decent one amongst all other negative ones in Russian which may well be fit to describe Armenians. This time this term would apply to the Armenian president Serj Sarkisyan. It is not the case that we want it, but we are rather being dragged into it by Armenians themselves. So, what is the case of Serj Sarkisyan’s cynicism?
In the end of September the Armenian president Serj Sarkisyan delivered a speech at the UN stating such things which are difficult to relate with any attempt of fair resolution of Karabakh problem, as well as reduce high tension in Armenian-Azerbaijani and Armenian-Turkish affairs.
“I represent the country which has been placed lately in an unacceptable situation for the twenty first century”, – said Serj showing his loyalty to the traditional Armenian manner, and right after moved to pleas. The president sighted and went on pouring his philosophy: “Unfortunately, in such conditions we still witness one-way closure of borders. If a country increases its military budget and is proud of it, if international agreements on ammunition quotas are being violated, and this is openly done, if a country signed cease-fire which is the international legal commitment, but at every opportunity threats to launch the war, then there should be fast and clear reaction… Prevention is always more preferable than treatment, and it is worth of prevention of possible military operations while they are being planned. We must clearly fix that violation of the current cease-fire or threats of violation include components of aggression”. It should be evident that Sarkisyan’s statement had been addressed to Azerbaijan while having no ground to do this.
Let’s see the meaning of the statement. Above all, while speaking of “one-way closure of borders”, the Armenian president carefully avoided the fact of who is the real causer of the “blockade”, meaning Armenia itself. It is the one inciting tension in Armenian, Turkish and Azerbaijani affairs. It has been speculating for a long time on the so called “genocide” which allegedly took place in 1915 in the Ottoman Empire, and, at the same claiming parts of Turkey’s territories while occupying one fifth of Azerbaijan’s territory. And here we may add that in the beginning of the twentieth century Armenia with the help of Russia managed to rip off parts of Azerbaijani territory.
Further, all addressed to Azerbaijan as the increase of military budget, violation of ammunition quotas alongside with concealed illegal military munitions being held in Nagorno Karabakh, as well as violation of cease-fire regime, etc., would directly pertain to Armenia. Moreover, while giving suggestions on “prevention of possible military operations while they are being planned”, the head of the aggressor state which occupied territories of the neighboring state having no ground to do, but being shameless to elaborate saying “We must clearly fix that violation of the current cease-fire or threats of violation include components of aggression”. While stating the necessity of “prevention of possible military operations while they are being planned”, Serj indirectly called to repeat what Russia has done against Georgia, but in this case meaning Azerbaijan. Here he suggested using as a “punishment” for Azerbaijan its sovereign right to plan its own budget in a reasonable way while it has not done any attempt to restore its territorial integrity despite having all rights to do it. Bu the most ridiculous in Sarkisyan’s speech was his “verdict” for “member-states of the UN must keep tight control over the implementation of UN’s regulations”. This was said by the president who openly ignored resolutions 822, 853, 874, 884 which have been adopted for fourteen years.
In his “hot speech” S.Sarkisyan elaborated on necessity of providing peoples with the right for self-determination, and makes his cynicism even more obvious: “The right of people to self-determination which is one of the basic principles of international law, became the reason of expulsions, ethnic cleansings, and genocides of peoples. I am sure it can’t go on”. It is said as if all these facts of violations had been made by Azerbaijan against Armenians. Incredible cynicism. By the beginning of events in the 1980s, there were more than 250,000 Azerbaijanis living in Armenia, and more than 150,000 of them in Nagorno Karabakh. Between 1988 and 1992 every single Azerbaijani was expelled from his/her native places by the Armenian militant forces. The process of expulsion was accompanied by unprecedented incidents of extermination of human beings. This must be called as the real ethnic cleansing and genocide! In brief, all what Armenians performed against Azerbaijanis, was presented by Sarkisyan rather way around to confuse international community. And this is top of their shamelessness!
Azerbaijan has never had performed any expulsion in its history and never conducted ethnical cleansing. To prove what we say it would be enough to use one single fact of having more than thirty thousand Armenians currently living in Azerbaijan, and encountering no problem even after so many Armenian atrocities happened to Azerbaijanis.
The audience at the UN heard from Sarkisyan that Armenia allegedly conducts negotiations with Azerbaijan for “getting Baku’s recognition of the state of “Nagorno Karabakh Republic” which has been independent for almost two decades. The war was imposed on people of Karabakh who legally proclaimed their aspiration for independence (?! – G.J). Armenians of Karabakh had faced the fear of extermination for many years… I think, it is at least unfair to call people who protected in war their right for existence as occupiers…” Here we see the same cynicism! More was said by the once leader of separatists, and currently the president of Armenia, S.Sarkisyan while delivering his speech at the UN.
What we shall do as he is one of those who would never change to be a different one.

THE ECCENTRICITY BY THE ARMENIAN PRESIDENT
It is our fate to be neighbors, and we have got used to endless Armenian eccentricities which time to time tend to pertain to this matchless nation (you shall know the real meaning of the word here – G.Z). The next outrageous behavior seemed to come from the current Armenian president.
Thus, Serj Sarkisyan who used to be a citizen of Azerbaijan, and one of the leaders of Nagorno Karabakh (NK) separatists whose hands have been immersed in blood of thousands of innocent people, made an unexpected suggestion. In his interview given to the Azerbaijani radio service of BBC he said: “I have suggested to the Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev to try investing in Karabakh to prove Azerbaijan’s interest for Karabakh’s welfare, as well as security and promising future for its population. This might make it possible for those in Karabakh to express wish of staying as a part of Azerbaijan. There is no other way”. Serj also added: “If a miracle happens right now, and Nagorno Karabakh is given back to Azerbaijan, then within short period there will be no single Armenian”. This was probably said to secure himself against his opponents, and make a space for refuge in case of any lapse.
However, shortly after the information agency of PanARMENIAN.Net had announced citing the Armenian president that in his interview S.Sarrkisyan had not expressed a possibility of Armenian population of Karabakh to agree on staying within Azerbaijan if the latter invests in Karabakh: “It is simply impossible. Baku-based media bodies, as always, used certain excerpts out of the whole context, and presented only what they wanted to hear”.
It seems the Armenian side understood that those words by their president may serve as an indicator of changes for Azerbaijani leadership, as well as for the co-chairs of the Minsk Group (MG) of OSCE, and decided to deny the president’s words.
But this attempt by the Armenian leadership failed. The Moscow-based BBC correspondent Eldar Ismailzade who personally took part in the interview of the Armenian president, informed that there could be no extortion of what was said by S.Sarkisyan: “We have the Armenian voice record of interview along with the English translation, and the text had been publicized exactly as it was said by Sarkisyan”. However, the main point in this case is in the meaning of Sarkisyan’s “suggestion”.
It is well-known that Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous District (NKAD) was established in 1923 which was unjustified event. It looks similar to current Armenian claims to secede Karabakh from Azerbaijan. If we take out the previous periods, and consider the time of NKAD when it was within Azerbaijan, we shall see positive development of the region. According to statistical data available in all archives, one may see that by the time of launching famous Armenian “movement” to secede from Azerbaijan, NKAD was the leading region in Azerbaijan for its economic, social and cultural growth.
But this is not the case. The problem is that Serj, who initiated such an eccentricity, clearly knew of being not serious in his “suggestion” which seems fake now, and foresaw it as unreal as there are many reasons for that. However, it is not the time to talk about reasons as they are obvious to every person who knows at least a bit about Nagorno Karabakh. It is sufficient to say that investments infer conclusion of different agreements by signing parties. Who would represent the beneficiaries? Would that be Nagorno Karabakh’s separatist regime? Its separatist leaders? That’s nonsense! But, anyways, even though a miracle happens and Azerbaijan decides on investing in Nagorno Karabakh, it would be silly to expect Russia letting Azerbaijani investments being made in Karabakh. It may become possible only after the end of Armenian occupation of the district, and integrating it into the rest of Azerbaijan what would inevitably happen!

ARMENIANS – PARTICIPANTS OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE “MARCHES OF DEATH” ELABORATES ON THIS
Moisei Becker, member of the International Association of Jewish Historians
The monographic work of the prominent Azerbaijani scientist, Dr. of political sciences, professor Rovshan Mustafayev called “Marches of death” was recently published in the language of Thorah.
Everybody is aware of the level of attention paid to the research of the greatest tragedy of Jewish people, Holocaust.
Very few though are aware of the role of Armenian nationalists in the extermination of Jews during the period of Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan (1918-1920) when 3000 innocent people were killed in the in Shimi valley of Quba region of Azerbaijan by the band of notorious Amazasp.
Not a less evil policy of armenianism was continued during the Second World War. Grown up in hatred towards the other nations, propagating the ideas of racism superiority that was instigated in them since early childhood through generations, many representatives of the mentioned community had been volunteering for Nazis.
Tens of thousands of supporters of Dashnagtsutun ideology had served in the Armenian legion established by Generals G. Njde and D. Kanaian as well as in SS.
They are responsible for the massacre of thousands of gypsies and Jews in Krim and in Southern Ukraine.
The most sinister figure in the monstrous Nazi pleiad was Hungarian Nazi, Ferenc Szálasi (Szálasian).
For many years his real origin was hidden and not “flaunted’. Due to hard laborious research based on the facts the author was able to show his origins and role in the extermination of 4
