An Azerbaijani “film”on Khojalou appeared in the Internet yesterday where the “hospitable and peaceful” Azerbaijani people tell about Knojalou “tragedy”.

Armenian Defense Ministry says, the Azerbaijani recurrent propaganda film is built on obvious lie, full of false information and distorted facts. The citations from Zori Balayan’s book are outrageous lie. The author himself announced this months ago, stating he has written nothing of the kind.

“The film” says the residents having escaped from Khojalou were fired near the Armenian village of Nakhijevanik. This fact also has nothing to do with the reality, since the abovementioned village of Nakhijevanik, situated close to Aghdam, was not under control of the Armenian military forces in February, 1992.

The film ends with a touching, heartbreaking music and the photos of the so-called “victims and the survivors.” After browsing for no longer than 1-2 minutes, one of the photos appears to illustrate an Armenian injured child (the photo was issued in “Komsomolets Kuzbasa” December 5, 1991 and the article is headlined as “A Long Way to Erkech” («Долгая дорога в Эркеч»). The online version of the article is available in http://www.press.karabakh.info .

We can do nothing but advise the Azerbaijani propaganda machine to be more attentive and make falsifications that would be not so vivid or would prove hard to reveal.
