DAYS OF SORROW
Egyptian newspapers publish Azerbaijani Ambassador`s article
Amman, January 20 (AZERTAC). Leading newspapers in Egypt, Youm7 and Akhbarelyom have published an article by Azerbaijani Ambassador in Cairo Shahin Abdullayev commemorating the 24th anniversary of the Black January events. In his article, the Ambassador says the tragic events of 1990 have been a heroic page of the struggle of the Azerbaijani nation for the freedom, and compares the tragedy with the events that happened on January 25, 2011 in Egypt. Mr. Abdullayev says that unlike the Egyptian army, the 9th Red Army committed one of the worst crimes against humanity as hundreds of innocent people were killed and wounded as a result of a massive terror, a massacre of peaceful population who stood up for national liberation and territorial integrity of its country.
The Ambassador also touches upon Armenia`s territorial claims against Azerbaijan, and the causes and consequences of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. He also draws attention to Azerbaijan`s achievements and provides an insight into how the country has overcome difficulties to become the regional leader.
