YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 26, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijan has fabricated lies about Khojaly, which are aimed to conceal the Sumgaite massacres. The President of the Assembly of Azerbaijani Armenians, expert on Azerbaijan Grigori Ayvazyan stated this during the press conference held on February 26. In addition he stated that the time has already come for Azerbaijan to bear responsibility for the genocide policy it has adopted and compensate the losses of the Azerbaijani Armenians. As reports "Armenpress" Grigori Ayvazyan noted: "We should voice about the genocide in Sumgaite. Time to keep silence is over, as we are left alone with our pain." In his opinion Azerbaijan recognized its responsibility for the genocide against the Azerbaijani Armenians in 1988-1990, by releasing and making hero out of murderer Ramil Safarov.

Among other things Grigori Ayvazyan noted: "The Azerbaijani Armenians paid a big price for the Karabakh movement and Azerbaijan has fabricated lies about Khojaly, which are aimed to conceal Sumgaite massacres." The Assembly of Azerbaijani Armenians has voiced many times on behalf of recognizing the actions against the Azerbaijani Armenians as genocide.
