BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 2. Azerbaijani NGOs
have addressed an open letter to the heads of the German Council on
Overseas Relations and the Konrad Adenauer Basis, Development stories.
“We, representatives of Azerbaijan’s civil society, are
interesting to the Director of the German Council on Overseas
Relations, Mr. Guntram Wolff, and the Chairman of the Konrad
Adenauer Basis, Mr. Norbert Lammert, urging the organizations
they’re resulting in cancel the biased and pro-Armenian propaganda
occasion known as “Cultural heritage of Arsakh” resulting from be held in Berlin
on March 6 this yr.
As individuals carefully concerned in diplomacy, it’s best to know
completely nicely that Armenia and its puppet separatist regime, which
existed for almost 30 years, occupied the territory of the Republic
of Azerbaijan for a very long time, destroyed the fabric and cultural
heritage of the Azerbaijani folks, wiped the cities and villages
off the face of the earth, turning them into cemeteries. Dozens of
mosques have been blown up by Armenia, and plenty of of them have been desecrated
by protecting cattle in them.
The German Council on Overseas Relations and the Konrad Adenauer
Basis didn’t hassle to prepare knowledgeable discussions in opposition to
this occupation and ethnic cleaning or publish a report on the
destruction of the fabric and cultural heritage of the
Azerbaijani folks. This silence in relation to the destruction of
mosques in Karabakh and the protecting of pigs in them is an instance
of Islamophobia.
On account of the 44-day conflict in 2020 and the anti-terror
measures in September 2023, the territorial integrity and
sovereignty of the Republic of Azerbaijan have been absolutely ensured.
Right this moment, the state of Azerbaijan is engaged in large-scale
development and restoration work, clearing the territory of extra
than 1.5 million mines and unexploded ordnance Armenia left behind
in Karabakh and Japanese Zangezur. The organizations you lead turned
a blind eye to this too.
Our query to you is that this: what’s your objective in organizing
a lop-sided and biased dialogue on “Cultural heritage of Arsakh”,
whether it is based mostly on lies, fraud and hypocrisy?
The group of such an occasion sizzling on the heels of a gathering
of the overseas ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Berlin is
a part of the steps aimed toward rising ethnic hatred and undermining
peace talks. The German Council on Overseas Relations overtly states
on its official web site that it’s funded by George Soros’ Open
Society Institute. This isn’t supposed to advertise Islamophobia,
forestall a normalization in Azerbaijan-Armenian relations and canopy
up the crimes dedicated in opposition to the folks of Azerbaijan.
We wish to consider that your intervention will assist
resolve this difficulty and the establishments you lead will cancel the
Islamophobic occasion on “Cultural heritage of Arsakh”, the letter
states.
We urge you to research details concerning the destruction of the
materials and ethical heritage of the Azerbaijani folks in Karabakh
and on the territory of Armenia and manage discussions with the
participation of all events.”
