Azeris give militants killed near Karintak for
The site of the “Khojalu: chronicle of unprecedented forgery and falsification” published another confirmation of the fact that Azerbaijan uses falsified images for fake propaganda in order to “prove” its dispositions about Aghdam events that took place in 1992.
The site Xocali.net has collected a gallery of such frauds. Thus the photo of “Karintak battle” is number 19 which is published on Azerbaijani site AzXeber.com, where the Azerbaijani militants of Riad Ahmedov’s unit who had attacked the Armenian village Karintak took the role of “mutilated Khojalu inhabitants”(Dashalti as the Azerbaijani version says).
The attack began on the night of 25 to 26 January. Battle lasted more than 12 hours. Advancing rebels stumbled on the defensive posts of the Armenians. 79 enemy soldiers were killed in the battle. Dozens more were killed while escaping. By the end of the day the snow-covered ridge was covered with the corpses of Azerbaijani soldiers.
Then, 21 years later, the bodies of the militants of Azerbaijani armed forces, that were killed in battle on January 25, 1992, appeared in the number of the civilians killed in Khojalu,” stated the site.
On February 26, 1992, during the war in Karabakh, around 200 to 300 people (according to Human Right Watch, and 600 according to the version propagated by Azerbaijan) were killed in unknown circumstances near the city of Aghdam. They have been deliberately withheld by the Azerbaijani authorities in the midst of the military actions. Population of the village of Khojalu, which was one of the firing points shooting at the blockaded Stepanakert (among five others) was kept in the village for months by force and was not evacuated by the authorities of Azerbaijan deliberately, in order to use them as human shields later.
Residents of Khojalu coming out through the humanitarian corridor, that the self-defense forces of NKR had left open, freely passed more than 10 km and reached the Aghdam city controlled by the Azerbaijani troops. Later, not far from the positions of Azerbaijani troops dead bodies of the villagers were found. The exact death toll remains unknown as the official Baku publishes data contradicting each other. Parliamentary Commission investigating the tragic death of the civilians at Aghdam city was dissolved by the order of Heydar Aliyev, the investigative materials are kept secret.
