LONDON AZERBAIJAN SOCIETY HOLDS PUBLIC INFORMATION CAMPAIGN ON KHOJALY GENOCIDE
The London Azerbaijan Society held a public information campaign on the 16th anniversary of the Khojaly genocide in the Great Britain.
The Society addressed to the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs of the United Kingdom David Miliband, 646 members of the House of Commons of the British Parliament and 78 members of the European Parliament, influential US media outlets, United Nations High Commissioner For Human Rights, OSCE PA President, head of OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, “Amnesty International”, “Human Rights Watch” organizations and foreign embassies in Azerbaijan. The books entitled “Khojaly tragedy - International View” and “International Visions: Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Karabakh” published by London Azerbaijan Society were attached to the appeal.
Assessing Armenian savageries in Khojaly city of Azerbaijan as one of the gravest crimes in the world, the appeal says committing the tragedy Armenians have violated the Geneva Convention on Human Rights.
The Khojaly genocide is a tragedy not only against Azerbaijani people, but also the whole world. According to the norms and principles of international law, the world community must condemn the tragedy as a crime against humanity and increase pressure on Armenia to leave occupied territories of Azerbaijan, the Appeal says.
The Society-published book “Khojaly tragedy - an International View” includes articles reflected in influential mass media of the world about the Khojaly tragedy, reports of international organizations, impressions of foreign journalists witnessed the tragedy, as well as photos.
The main goal to publish the books is informing the world community about the Khojaly genocide and Nagorno-Karabakh conflict positively and exposing those who are responsible for the tragedy.
