Day.Az interview with Milli Medjlis deputy of Azerbaijan Yevda Abramov.
- Have you read the next "hoax" of the Armenian propaganda?- Yes, I have visited these websites and familiarized with the nonsense that Armenians have again published. I investigated the situation at once and it turned out that on the night of February 10 there was not a single person with knife wounds brought to the Sumgayit hospitals. My assistant lives in Sumgayit but neither he nor his relatives have heard anything about the alleged Jewish pogroms. We contacted Jewish families, residing in Sumgayit, as well as Jews, who have relatives in this city, but they all refuted this nonsense.
- Why did Armenians decide to release this disinformation? And why now?- After Davos, when leaders of the countries friendly to Azerbaijan and Israel, voiced emotional statements favorable conditions emerged for the Armenian propaganda to publish another "hoax". I think after the recent events in the Near East, a number of countries friendly to Azerbaijan started to assess the situation lopsided. One party of the conflict was set up for an aggressor and another as a victim. Armenians decided to make use of it and wrote about the alleged murders in Sumgayit on their websites.
- By the way, why was Sumgayit chosen for as far as we know there are not so many Jews in this city?- Armenians managed to make others associate Sumgayit with the place of ethnic conflicts. Ordinary people in different countries think like that: if several years ago there were atrocities committed in this city, but most still do not know that these atrocities were committed by Armenians, perhaps, they could have repeated again. Armenians have staked on this factor skillfully and it should be admitted that to some extend they have attained their goals. Bakuvians, residing in Israel and other countries started to worry and call to Baku, asking about the events, ongoing here.
- Probably Armenians pursued not only the goal of making the society worry, they usually have far-seeing plans. What do you think was their target this time?- Armenians aim to make the world Jewish lobby not to support Turkey and Azerbaijan. We have information that after "Davos" Armenians were openly celebrating the speech of the Turkish leadership. Armenians hope that when they raise the issue about "Armenian genocide" once again, the World Jews will not support Turkey.
Azerbaijan is among the most tolerant countries in the world. People here are very friendly to Jews like other nationalities. I am confident that there will never be differences with Jews on the Azerbaijani land.
