DAYS OF SORROW
Egypt's "tahrirnews" website posts article on Black January
Amman, January 22 (AZERTAC). Egypt-based "tahrirnews" website has published an article on the occasion of the 24th anniversary of 20 January tragedy.
The article was written by the ambassador of Azerbaijan to Egypt Shahin Abdullayev.
The article says that Black January was a massacre of innocent Azerbaijanis committed on January 20, 1990, which was a result of biased policy of the Soviet regime against the people of Azerbaijan. It notes the Soviet Army’s bloody invasion of Baku was a vast violation of the constitutions of the former USSR and the Azerbaijan Soviet Republic. The article stresses the fact that the Soviet troops had used internationally prohibited weapons in Baku, and slaughtered women, children and the elderly.
It described as “a great injustice” the fact that Mikhail Gorbachev, who was responsible for the January tragedy, received the Nobel Peace Prize.
