Azerbaijan, Baku, 12 February / Trend corr. G.Jabiyev / The ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) is against the meeting in connection with the anniversary of the Khojali tragedy.
"Whom do we wish to inform about the tragedy by staging the meeting within the country? As for the world information, we have implemented a range of meetings at a high level, MP Mubariz Gurbanli, deputy executive secretary of the party stated to Trend.
The meeting of the Musavat party held on 11 February was dedicated to the Khojali tragedy. The meeting participants came to the conclusion to submit proposals to all political parties including NAP to stage a rally on the Azadlig Square on 26 February.
On the night of 25 to 26 February 1992, with the assistance of the Russian 366th regiment, Armenian armed forces committed genocide in Khojali. Hundreds of the Azerbaijani civilians lost their live in the genocide. In addition, thousands of people were injured and many are still missing.
Gurbanli considers that such rallies should be staged in front of the US Senate, the Russian Parliament, the French Senate and similar departments in order to inform the world about the truth of the Khojali tragedy.
"Azerbaijani State Committee on Work with Azerbaijani Reside Abroad is engaged in joint work with our citizens in this direction. In Azerbaijan, we all know that the Khojali tragedy is a genocide committed by Armenians. Some people want to receive dividends from this tragedy," Gurbanli stated.
According to Gurbanlli, we need to hold round tables and accept joint statements. NAP will implement discussions on the Khojali tragedy and will take definite measures, Gurbanli stated.
