YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 22, ARMENPRESS: The settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict demands unprecedented public reconciliation, director of Mkhitar Sebastatsi educational complex Ashot Bleyan told the reporters February 22. In his opinion we, as citizens, are not well-informed what is going on in Azerbaijan.
Political Analyst Alexander Manasyan said Azerbaijani and Armenian societies were engaged in the conflict in different ways starting from 1988. "In international forums we many times have to show that Azerbaijanis participated in the blockade in mass. The crowd category is singled out for Azerbaijan – the managed crowd. It is a participation format," the political analyst said. In his opinion after the establishment of peace, Armenians revealed their feature: in the battle field we are lions, in peaceful conditions we think the war is over.
"We wrote and have written about Khojalu but only for us. Azerbaijan spreads false information throughout the world. With the realization that the truth is on our side, we have not made any step," the analyst stressed. He said the Armenian side should sue Azerbaijan for what happened in Khojalu. The facts are enough: massacres took place in the territory controlled by Azerbaijan. The reporter who told the truth was made silent, killed, besides, there are a lot of testimonies of witnesses.
Manasyan said the more active Azerbaijanis work, the more difficult will be for us to present the truth. Bleyan said he is sure that it is not only necessary to unite, but act. The work must be the uniting force.
