V. Voskanyan: Pakistani resolution of Khojaly events not serious
Pakistan’s Senate Foreign Affairs Committee passed a resolution on February 1 recognizing Khojaly events in 1992 as genocide.
Pakistan is an artificially created state having serious ethnic problems, and its Senate Foreign Affairs Committee resolution on Khojaly is at least not serious.
At least two nations inhabiting in Pakistan accuse of the local government for exercising policy of genocide against them. They are Pakistani Balujs and Pashtuns.
A month ago Victoria Nuland, US state department spokeswoman, was asked in Twitter to remark on genocide carried out against Baluj people in Pakistan, although Mrs. Nuland didn’t use the word genocide, she expressed the deepest concerns over the issue. Hence, that was the first time the US has referred to the genocide of Baluj people in Pakistan.
Thus, instead of focusing on Khojaly, which is terra incognita for an average Pakistani, the authorities are highly recommended to stop massacre against Baluj people, expert said.
Besides, Pakistan is a state having the most corrupted state system. Indexes released by “Transparency International” are evidences, thus the resolution might have been influenced by Azerbaijani oil dollars.
Baluj people live in south-eastern province of Balujistan, Pakistan.
