Rahim Humbatov, chairman of the “Azerbaijani Community of Crimea” Public Union, sent a letter to mayor of Uzhgorod concerning the recognition of the so-called “Armenian genocide” by Uzhgorod city council. Rahim Humbatov told APA that the letter says the decision is illegal.
“Uzhgorod city council has the right to pass decisions independently only concerning the local issues within the framework of the Ukrainian Constitution and laws. It is obvious that by passing this decision Uzhgorod city council exceeded its power. It is also obvious that the decision contradicts the interests of Ukraine.”
The letter says that during Nagorno Karabakh conflict Armenians committed genocide against the civilians in Khojaly, a lot of films were made, books and articles written about the genocide. Rahim Humbatov asked Uzhgorod city council to recognize Khojaly genocide as a crime against mankind, appeal to Ukrainian President and parliament and support the Azerbaijani people.
