English version of 'Genocide' film on Armenian barbarism against Azerbaijani people presented

Today, Baku hosted the presentation of the English version of the "Genocide" documentary film on atrocities of the Armenian Dashnaks committed against the civilian population March 31, 1918 in Guba. The film was prepared by the Public Association of the Eurasian Institute of International Studies, with financial support of the State NGO Support Council under the Azerbaijani President. Etibar Mammadov is director and author of the film's screenplay.

Chief adviser of the film MP Ganira Pashayeva said the "Genocide" film s an important tool to prevent Armenian's fraudulent claims of 'Armenian genocide'.

The Azerbaijani version of the film was presented in late March.

In March 1918, Stepan Shaumyan's Dashnak-Bolshevik government seized power and launched genocide against the Azerbaijani people. Under the decree signed by National Leader Heydar Aliyev in 1998, March 31 is marked as the Day of Azerbaijanis Genocide. The Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) reported that he genocide that began March 24, 1918 against the Azerbaijanis, led by Shaumian lasted several days. Up to 700,000 people were killed during this period in the Azerbaijani territory. During the March events, Armenians completely destroyed 75 Shamakhi, 122 Guba and 115 Zangazur villages.

Pashayeva said the Azerbaijani non-governmental organizations play an important role in bringing the truth to the world's attention.

"The work done by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and its President Mrs. Mehriban Aliyeva may serve as an example for NGOs in this direction," she said.

"Apr.22-24, we will hold a presentation of this film in several U.S. cities, Georgia and Turkey on the eve of the Armenian activities in connection with the so-called" Armenian genocide", Eurasian Institute of International Studies president Gunel Pashayeva said.

Scientific consultant of the film, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Musa Gasimli said the film's feature is that it tells about the historical facts and the people who are witnesses of historical events.
