Subject: Azerbaijani Genocide
TO CIVILIZED
WORLD COMMUNITY:
TO ALL
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS:
TO ALL
PRESIDENTS AND SOVEREIGNS OF WORLDWIDE COUNTRIES:
TO ALL
SPEAKERS OF PARLIAMENTS:
TO ALL
CITIZENS OF WORLD:
Dear Madame/Sir,
XX century
was marked by many tragic events in the history of mankind.
All nations in the world have suffered from evils like
war, mass killings, massacre, hunger, deportation and
conflicts. Today human rights and fundamental freedoms
have become most important engines of life itself. They
are clearly enshrined in all international documents
released by international organizations and approved
by all nations. The world struggles with unprecedented
heroism.
We have been witnesses when the international
community strongly condemned awful September 11 attacks
in USA. Nations and States were hand in hand to cure
that disease together. We feel the force of international
community growing every day. Only the deepest attention
of ours will save the future generations from extermination.
Wherever evil will play a new scenario, we must be together
to prevent all forthcoming bad events.
Perhaps, it is
very regrettable to point out that international community
is not aware about all crimes committed against humanity.
Criminals exist for one reason: to be stopped and punished.
In this letter addressed to every single citizen of
the world nations, we would touch upon a fate of one
country. It could seem to anyone a small one. But life
is life. It needs to be announced to all international
community. Yes, it is the Republic of Azerbaijan. A
beautiful oil-rich land, natural resources, very tolerant
people called Azerbaijanis are the main features of
that Republic.
It has restored its national independence
in October 1991 after the collapse of former USSR. Since
first days of its independence, Azerbaijan was subjected
to many difficulties. Member of UN, OSCE, Council of
Europe, CIS and many other international organizations
is suffering today from the same evil.
Nowadays many
world citizens and politicians know that twenty percent
of Azerbaijani lands are under occupation by the Republic
of Armenia. It is a war. Killing, sufferings and blood
bath made by Armenian aggressors against Azerbaijanis
in 1988-1994 are just a part of centuries long Armenian
aggressive policy.
We are very saddened today to introduce
into universal history a fact of Azerbaijani genocide
perpetrated by Armenians during last two centuries.
Azerbaijani genocide numbers millions of Azerbaijanis
killed during that period. It is a well-planned policy
of Armenian politicians who dream about “great Armenia”
from Black Sea to Caspian Sea. Azerbaijani genocide
had in fact four main stages.
First stage of Azerbaijani
genocide begins with the first settlements of Armenians
in South Caucasus in the second half of XIX century
and the emergence of Armenian terrorist and warlike
political parties like “Gnchak” (1887, Geneva) and “Dashnaksustyun”
(1890, Tiflis – modern Georgia). As a result of war
between Czarist Russia and Iran, Gulistan Agreement
(October 12, 1813) and Turkmenchay Agreement (February
10, 1828) have divided Azerbaijan into two parts. Only
after latter Agreement, Armenia has emerged in that
region as a “Armyanskaya oblast” (Armenian district)
based upon the Decree signed by Russian Emperor Nicholas
1. 1905-1907 bloody events in Czarist Russia have become
as a pretext for Armenians to perpetrate mass killings
and national carnage in Azerbaijani cities like Baku,
Shusha, Zangezur, Irevan (current Yerevan), Nakhichevan,
Ordubad, Echmiadzin (modern Armenia), Chavanshir and
Gazakh. Armenians have plundered 200 Azerbaijani villages
in Irevan (current Yerevan) and Ganja and 75 villages
in Shusha, Jabrayil and Zangezur. Many historical archives
are abound with materials about Armenian crimes committed
against Azerbaijani at the beginning of XX century.
Second stage of Azerbaijani genocide starts with Bolshevik
overthrown in 1917 in Russia. In that time, Armenians
have massacred thousands of Azerbaijanis under the umbrella
of Bolsheviks’ policy. The 31st of March 1918 was a
“Saint Bartholomew night” happened in second time in
universal history. Armenians had only one reason: “Kill
every Turk and Azerbaijani”. Many thousands of Azerbaijanis
were slaughtered in Baku, Shamakha, Guba and at Mugan
valley. They have killed at least 50000 Azerbaijanis
in one city of Lenkeran. In plus, victims of Armenians
in Baku numbered 30000 persons. 7000 killed with particular
cruelty in Azerbaijani city of Shamakha. Armenians butchered
1653 women and 965 children in that city. In Azerbaijani
city of Guba, 122 Moslem villages were razed to ground,
115 villages were put under pillage in Zangezur, 211
villages in Irevan (current Yerevan). Those are years,
Azerbaijanis were lucky to obtain an independence. All
three South Caucasian countries have got independent
in that time. Azerbaijani Democratic Republic has emerged
with its tricolor flag on May 28, 1918. In that moment,
all conflicts were suspended to maintain independence.
Letter of chairman of Council of Ministers of Azerbaijan
says: “We have finished all disputes with Armenians,
they will accept an ultimatum and will end a war. We
handed over Irevan (current Yerevan).” In that moment
Armenia has a territory of 17500 square miles with population
of 1510000 persons (795000 – Armenians, 575000 – Moslems,
140000 – other nationalities). In 1918-1920, 565000
Azerbaijanis were killed and ousted from their native
places in Armenia.
Third stage of Azerbaijani genocide
has been launched in 1948-1953 under Soviet rule. This
time, it has turned out into a mass deportation of Azerbaijanis
from Armenia. Soviet leaders did not like any anarchy.
Armenians were quite ruse to use more flexible methods
to oust Azerbaijanis and at the same time, to please
to Stalin. Armenian diaspora has convinced Soviet leader
Stalin and Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs Molotov
to permit foreign Armenians to be settled in Soviet
Armenia. In 1946, Armenians from Syria, Lebanon, Iran,
Bulgaria and Romania have inundated those lands. Their
number was 50900. 35400 Armenians have opened their
suitcases to live in Soviet Armenia coming from Palestine,
Syria, France, USA, Greece, Egypt, Iraq and Lebanon
in 1947. After that policy of “armenization”, poor Azerbaijanis
from kolkhozs and sovkhozs have been ordered to move
to Kura and Araxes valleys of Soviet Azerbaijan on December
23, 1947. According to decision of USSR Council of Ministers,
10000 Azerbaijanis in 1948, 40000 in 1949 and 50000
in 1950 were obliged to leave their homes to new places.
During a period of 1948-1952, 100000 Azerbaijanis have
quitted native lands in Armenia.
Fourth stage of Azerbaijani
genocide is quite fresh in our memory. It happened at
the end of XX century. Since 1988 first massacre of
Azerbaijanis has started in Armenia itself. On one hand,
we had a breakdown of USSR, and culmination of genocide
against Azerbaijani people was on other hand. There
is an Armenian place called Gukark. Number of killed
Azerbaijanis in that place was 70. Vardenis region of
Armenia had 40 killed Azerbaijanis. Those bloody events
were main reasons for 250000 Azerbaijanis who escaped
“Lynch court” in Yerevan, Masis, Kalinino, Kajaran,
Kaphan, Kirovakan, Goris, Sisian, Amasiya and Alaverdi.
All places are located in modern Armenia. Slogan of
Armenian nationalists was the following: “Armenia should
be without Azerbaijanis”. Dashnak heinous idea has been
realizing while Gorbachev and all Soviet leadership
closed its blind eyes. At the same time, Armenia launches
a large-scale military operation against Azerbaijan
to gain more territory, uses Armenians living in Nagorno
Karabakh to fuel a fire of separatism. War begins again
in South Caucasus. Azerbaijani people is mourning on
January 20, 1990. Soviet troops have bulleted many civilians
in Baku. Most cruel tragedy of mankind happens in Khojaly
(Azerbaijani city) on February 25-26. 1992. While UN
and all nations are defending human rights all over
the world, Armenians are killing old persons, women
and children. Screwed eyes, cutted ears, burnt dead
corpses, scalped heads are nothing but “art-work” of
Armenians. 20000 of Azerbaijanis are killed in war,
1000000 of refugees and IDP in a country of eight millions
of persons. 20% of Azerbaijani lands are occupied by
Armenia.
Dear Madam/Sir,
It is not a telltale. Neither
propaganda, nor politics. Every single citizen sees
a child crying close to his/her dead mother. Then, he
or she is killed also by a bullet. Timeline is end of
XX century. We ask every civilized person to pass this
letter to his/her neighbor, friend, and relatives. It
is necessary to prevent the same tragedy in other country.
We ask you to inform every man and woman on the Earth.
We call upon you to stop and prevent it. All criminals
should account for their crimes against humanity. Condemn
any act of killing. Bring the Justice to criminals.
Help the human mankind to advance XXI century without
genocide and mass killings. More information about the
history of Azerbaijani genocide can be found in http://www.azerigenocide.org.
Together we will eradicate this evil. We must recognize
an Azerbaijani genocide to preserve all generations
from that evil of genocide.
Peace on you,
