Tashkent, February 3, 2022
Uzbekistan`s xabar.uz and ziyouz.uz news portals have published articles highlighting President Ilham Aliyev’s interview with Azerbaijan State News Agency-AZERTAC during his visit to the city of Ganja.
The article published by xabar.uz news portal featured remarks by President Ilham Aliyev who responded to a question from AZERTAC’s reporter on a demonstration attempt of a film about Armenian fascist Garegin Nzhdeh that was recently stopped and eliminated in Russia. “I was the first person to raise this issue at the political level. In previous years, I have repeatedly raised the issue of Armenian fascists in my speeches. I raised the issue with international organizations and countries and said that Nazis should not be allowed to become heroes. I raised the issue of executioner Nzhdeh in my speech at one of the CIS summits. I said that the statue of Nzhdeh in the Armenian capital Yerevan was a propaganda of fascism. This must be stopped. This man was a fascist. This man was an executioner. This man killed innocent Azerbaijanis and then soldiers and officers of the Soviet army during World War II,” President Ilham Aliyev said.
The articles also quoted President Ilham Aliyev as saying: “During the second Karabakh war, Ganja was repeatedly bombed by the criminal Armenian army. Thirteen rockets were fired at the city, eight of which exploded, unfortunately killing people. Five did not even explode. This, in turn, shows the plight of the Armenian army. Our citizens who died as a result of this cowardly shooting should not have died. Among them were children, women and the elderly. Six children died. In the city of Ganja alone, 26 civilians were killed by cowardly fire, they are the victims of Armenian fascism. The city of Ganja was shelled with both “Tochka-U” and “SCUD” missiles.”
