ARMENIAN JOURNALIST EXPOSES ARMENIANS` BRUTALITY TOWARDS AZERBAIJANIS
Baku, 28 February (AZERTAC). Armenian journalist David Yerian who participated in Nagorno-Karabakh battles has written a book about what he had seen during the armed conflict. Published in Beirut, the book, titled For the Sake of Cross, exposes Armenians` brutality towards innocent Azerbaijanis. Here are some excerpts from the book:
“… Sometimes we happened to march on dead bodies. In order to cross a swamp near Dashbulag, we have paved a road composed of dead bodies. I refused to march on dead bodies. Then colonel Oganyan ordered me not to scare. It is one of military laws. I have pressed my one foot onto the breast of a wounded girl aged 9 or 10 years and marched…My legs, my photo camera were in blood…”
On the page 63 he writes:
“… the Armenian group “Gaflan” (dealing with burning of dead bodies) have collected 100 dead bodies of Turks (Azerbaijani) and burned them in a place located one kilometer from Khojaly to the West on March 2… I saw a girl aged 10 and wounded in hands and in head lying in last truck. Her face was already of a blue color. But she was still alive despite of hunger, coldness and wounds. She had a little breath. I cannot forget her eyes striving with death… Suddenly a soldier called Tigranyan took that body and thrown it on other dead bodies… Then they have burned dead bodies. It seemed to me that someone was crying in fire between dead bodies… After all I could not go further. But I wanted to see Shusha… I returned. And they continued their battles for the sake of Cross…”
