Korea Post highlights Kalbajar’s occupation
Seoul, May 2 (AZERTAC). The Korea Post newspaper has highlighted the occupation of Azerbaijan`s Kalbajar region by the Armenian armed forces in its April issue.
The article is headlined “Armenia invades Kalbajar of Azerbaijan, kills 511, captures 321, displaces 58,000”.
The article says: “Kalbajar, the region of 1936 square km and located outside of the Nagorno Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, was occupied by Armenian armed forces after the long battles on April 2, 1993. As a result of the occupation, 511 peaceful residents were killed, 321 were taken captive or became missing, and 58 thousand were displaced.”
“Historic monuments, such as Albanian temple, Albanian churches, fortresses of “Lok”, “Ulukhan”, “Galabonu”, “Jomerd”, “Keshikchi”, mosques in the town of Kalbajar and in its settlements, as well as bridges, museums of history and ethnography, cultural houses were destroyed by Armenian forces.”
The article says: “Kalbajar was also famous with its water springs, such as “Upper Istisu”, “Lower Istisu”, “Keshdek”, “Garasu”, “Tutxun”, “Mozchay” and “Goturlusu” which are under the Armenian occupation.”
“Unfortunately, those rich natural resources which are property of the Azerbaijani people have been plundered by Armenian vandals. Currently, the Armenian companies produce the “Istisu” mineral water with the name "Jamruk", and export illegally to some foreign countries.”
“After the occupation of Kalbajar region, UN Security Council adopted the resolution 822 and demanded withdrawal of all invasion forces from Kalbajar and other occupied regions of Azerbaijan, but that resolution and other three adopted later were not fulfilled,” says the article.
“Contrary to the UN and OSCE core principles, Armenians have started their artificial settlement in Kalbajar since 1999.”
