The government of Armenia banned the local users to enter the official website of the “Justice for Khojaly” campaign (www.justiceforkhojaly.org), OIC Youth Forum told APA.
A young Armenian Internet user said on the campaign’s Facebook page that he couldn’t enter the website because it was banned. “Justice for Khojaly” Campaign said on Wednesday that the problem the Armenian users faced was a violation of the freedom of information and human rights commitment by the government of Armenia.
“Justice for Khojaly” Facebook administrator Elmaddin Mehdiyev commented the situation. “We investigated the problem and found out that enter this site (www.justiceforkhojaly.org) was really banned in Armenia. Even they spread rumor on the Internet space of Armenia that we banned the site. Following facts proved that it is the next lying propaganda by the Armenian authorities. The site was established by the campaign activists in the United States and 15 000 people form 101 countries have visited the site and learned the materials there since February, 2009. It is technically impossible to ban enter the site in Azerbaijani territory. According to the ICT experts, the present Armenian authorities, who committed massacres in Khojaly, banned enter the site in the country to prevent spread of true reports about the Khojaly tragedy in Armenia”.
The “Justice for Khojaly” campaign call on the human rights defenders and its supporters to protest the Armenian government and to attract the attention of the international organizations to this fact. The campaign’s coordination center said they were searching for relevant ways to provide the Armenian users to access the website.
