    Translation of the article:

    At the meeting with the Azerbaijanis relocated to Khojalu (Ivanyan), the leader of Azerbaijan voiced another demand to Armenia: “Armenia should recognize the Khojalu genocide and ask for forgiveness.”

    “First of all, Armenia should recognize that tragedy, that crime,” Ilham Aliyev stated, according to the press service of the President of Azerbaijan.

    For decades, Azerbaijan has been trying to present the events that took place in Khojalyu in 1992 as a “genocide” of Azerbaijanis by Armenians, the Armenian side denies this claim and calls it a propaganda trick.

    Yesterday, accompanied by his wife and daughter, Aliyev visited a number of depopulated regions of Nagorno-Karabakh, where Azerbaijanis are already settling, and assured the resettled citizens that “we must be ready at any moment”. “Of course, first of all, it is necessary to strengthen our army, and we are doing it,” he said.

    “There are quite a lot of revanchists in Armenia. We are also following the latest events, we see that attempts are being made to present territorial ambitions to us,” said Ilham Aliyev, referring to the internal Armenian political processes.

    Pure projection. At worst, it was a war crime. And even then, there were Azeri journalists who testified that Azeri forces moved and mutilated the bodies. But sure, knock yourselves out…if there are guilty parties in Armenia, bring them to account in the courts.

    Now, about that genocide you personally committed just months ago…

  3. Disregarding what Aliyev says, we should recognize the Khojaly massacres as massacres because it did happen!

    Edit: Lots of you need to chill the fuck down. 😂

    When 300.000 Armenians die during Hamidian genocide, 1.500.000 during 1915 Armenian genocide, 30.000 during Tamerland massacres (easily qualifies as genocide too), millions displaced during Shah Abbas genocide — I sleep

    200 dead during Ivanyan (Khojali) massacre — real shit

  5. Will be interesting to see if Aliyev uses this as a condition for signing a peace agreement.

    Can’t wait for our “journalists” to push this in our internal agenda discussions. I can already hear one of them asking “պարոն Սիմօնյան ձեր կառավարությունը պատրաստ է՚ ճանաչել այսպես կոչված խօջալուի ցեղասպանությունը”. And then we will have this subject going from mouth to mouth for two weeks.

    I guess pashinyan will recognize it and also pay them “reparations” too the family of the “victims” I hope he also doesn’t build a statue in honor of them in Armenia.

    Armenia really has to step up it’s PR and info game. We can’t just let this mouthbreather to spew shit and say nothing about it

  10. Who’s going to remind this buffoon that he committed a TEN MONTH GENOCIDE THROUGH ATTRITION & stole historic ancestral lands with Israeli weapons ……all while his genocide denying megalomaniac Erdogan cheered him on?
