Armenian vandals have desecrated ancient Turkic cemetery Tokhmakhgol: NGO director

"Back in 1903, there was no Armenian toponym in the territory of modern Armenia and there were Azerbaijani-Turkic names of settlements everywhere whereas today, in this territory there is no man of Turkic origin in this territory. The Armenian vandals have desecrated ancient Turkic cemetery Tokhmakhgol which is the highest manifestation of Armenian xenophobia,” Director of the Azerbaijani NGO Assistance to Development of Public Relations Shelale Hasanova said at a presentation ceremony of the Web site www.west-land.az

She said the project was implemented under the project titled "Dissemination of the truth about the Western Azerbaijan on internet" carried out by a grant from the State Council for NGO Support the President of Azerbaijan.

“The Web site includes an electronic book of the late honored journalist Habib Rahimoglu "Unforgettable names, Unhealed Wounds” which tells the story of two-centuries old history of occupation of originally Azerbaijani lands by Armenian nationalists. The web site is an excellent response to all Armenian mythmakers and falsifiers of history. It is no secret that every year the Armenians improve their awareness of technology, expanding the scope of lies and slander,” she said.

"It is enough to recall ‘Field of  Memory’ by Hovannes Melkonyan. This hefty collection of lies composed of 512 pages was published and launched for sale in 1987 for a short time with lightning speed - for 3 months. The book includes letters allegedly written in the 1916-1919 years by 353 witnesss of "Armenian genocide" that allegedly happened in Turkey, but not have reached their destinations.”

“One thing is clear: in 1987, with a view to forcing anti-Azerbaijani hysteria in connection with the Karabakh problem, there was a an “order” for such letters and they appeared from “bottom of the submarine.” The full picture of the horrors and violence of the book of this kind was published by the Armenians as a call for vengeance on the principle of "eye for eye, tooth for a tooth,” Hasanova said.
