Fuad Akhundov: "Hitler occupied 9% of the USSR while Armenia has occupied 20% of Azerbaijan"

As APA reports, President's Office sector director Fuad Akhundov addressing the presentation, criticized the "Regnum" agency pan-Armenian activity reminding that this event takes place on the same date when the fascist Germany attacked the USSR 65 years ago.

"Hitler occupied 9 percent of the USSR while Armenia has occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan. As the 1941-1945 war was Great Patriotic War for the USSR peoples the Karabakh war means the same for Azerbaijanis," Mr.Akhundov underlined.

Commenting on the "Regnum" chief editor Konstantin Kazenin's statement that the aim of publishing this book is to familiarize Russian audience with Azerbaijani position regarding the Nagorno Garabagh conflict, Akhundov said, "If you want to contribute to the resolution of the conflict, take a neutral stance."

"According to my three-month-analyze, "Regnum" has publicized 8,000 stories on Armenia and 2,000 on Azerbaijan. Most of the stories on Azerbaijan were about the Nagorno Garabagh. This is enough to consider the "Regnum" as pan-Armenian," the sector director said.

Criticizing the title of the book, Akhundov underlined Azerbaijani position regarding the Garabagh issue bases on the international law. He reminded that Azerbaijan supports peaceful solution of the conflict on the basis of territorial integrity.

Akhundov also said it is not clear to him what principle was based on while collecting the stories in the book and considered it as gross mistake to compare the Khojali and Sumgayit events which happened in the end of the same month.

"Armenia is a mono-national state and this is the result of Armenia’s ethnic cleansing policy not just a natural process. The number of people massacred by Armenians in the Azerbaijani town of Khojali is twice more than that of the people massacred in Songmu village of Vietnam. Armenians are living in Turkey, Iran, Azerbaijan and Georgia which border on Armenia but there is not any Turk or Azerbaijani in Armenia" Akhundov underlined.

Reminding that Armenian Grigoryan stood behind the Sumgayit events, Akhundov said during the investigation in Moscow, witnesses answering the question "Who inflicted torture on you?" said "Grigoryan".

The President's Office sector director also said he hided his Armenian friend's family in his home, "You cannot come across a person in Armenia, who saved an Azerbaijani family. The former USSR authorities used to say Azerbaijanis were deported from Armenia within two weeks and a half."

Akhundov concluded that if it is impossible to liberate Garabagh by peaceful way, other ways will be considered.
