  • Armenian Acts of Cultural Terrorism
    Iğdır Azerbaijani‐Turkish Cultural Association ARMENIAN ACTS OF CULTURAL TERRORISM History remembers, while Names changed Cafer Qiyasi, İbrahim Bozyel Kitab Klubu www.kitabklubu.org Baku – 2007 PREFACE It is a fact that the most important factor which enables nations to last out, is their cultural identity. It goes down in history that a nationʹs failure to hold on to its cultural values tenaciously would lead to a total frustration. As pointed out by one writer, ʹIf we shoot bullets through our past, a cannonade by our future gen‐ erations is next to come.ʹ Therefore, in order to succeed in living up to standards of a dignified life, one has to protect, maintain, and transmit his cultural heritage, which in turn builds a bridge between the past and the future. Regrettably, even around the turn of the century, terrorism remains a grim fact. It is excruciating to witness innocent people falling victims to terrorism. How‐ ever, what is more dangerous and utterly unpardonable is cultural terrorism. Fighting, plundering and arson have long been canonized as glorifying forms of action by some nations therefore it has been highly pertinent, in their view, to obliterate the cultural artifacts belonging to their adversaries which survived over centuries. Most probably, history will not excuse those nations that are committed to prove their dignity by destroying the cultural monuments of other civilizations. Dear readers, in its attempt to shed light on the question What is cultural terrorism?, this book constitutes a striking piece of document presented to the world public. You will be petrified to read about the cultural genocide exercised vigorously over Azerbaijani Turks by Armenian propagandists who unjustly misinform the world by spreading erroneous claims of ethnic genocide ‐alleged mass killings of Arme‐ nians in Ottoman Turkey in 1915.
