From Editorial Board: This book embraces papers presented at the conferences held in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 under the topic "Garabagh yesterday, today and tomorrow". Presented papers are devoted to various aspects of Azerbaijan -Armenia war caused by territorial claims and aggression of Armenia against Azerbaijan. These conferences initiated by Organization of Liberation of Garabagh are targeting to inform international community about causes, roots and perspectives of resolution of Azerbaijan-Armenia war and to derive a common, fair position, which corresponds to reality, in this vital problem. 2 Adalat Mustafayev ARMENIAN SEPARATISM AND ITS SUPPORTERS Political processes, which took place in western regions of Azerbaijan since 80-ies o the XX century were based on events of the XIX century when Russian empire invaded South Caucasus and initiated move of Armenians here. This problem became even more deeper with conveying of Zangezur to Armenia by Soviet empire and creation of autonomy for Armenians on the territory of Azerbaijan (DGAR, 1923). During the period of Soviet rule Armenians repeatedly expressed ridiculous ideas about economic and political "links" of Daglyg Garabagh to Armenia and claimed giving Autonomous Republic to Armenia. In 1965 when the claim of Armenia for Garabagh was voiced, Khrushov hold a fair position and defended rights of Azerbaijan (Boran Aziz. Khodjaly genocide: causes, methods of implementation and results. Baku, 2008, p.42). Those who made this demand clearly understood that in fact there were no economic or political ties of Daglyg Garabagh and Armenia. But Armenians never refused from their groundless claims and strengthened anti-Azerbaijan propaganda by all means. They also widely applied financial sources both across the former Union and in many foreign countries for implementation of their dirty plans against Azerbaijan. In 1989 Armenian organizations of the USA held a conference on Daglyg Garabagh at the Columbia University, which was attended by Tadeush Svyatokhovsky, who attempted to say truth and informed participants of the conference that Armenians are not the indigenous population. Professor then informed about crude behavior of Armenians towards him: "They said to me: "What a scientist you are, how can you say that you are an American scientist?" ("Elm" newspaper, July 29, 1989). The only thing is in mind of Armenians: whoever you are, you have to say "Amen" to lies and falsifications of Armenians. Anti-Azerbaijan propaganda of Armenians is confessed even by authoritative representatives of Russia. Ex vice-speaker of Russia S.Baburin while his meeting with lecturers and students of Baku State University said that "Armenians spend a lot of money for publication of anti- Azerbaijan propagandistic materials in mass media of Russia" (A.N.Abbasbeyli, P.Q.Darabadi, A.G.Ibrahimov. Conflictology. Textbook. Baku, 2006, p.269). Unable to objectively evaluate the essence and perspectives of political processes in former USSR, dutiful rule of K.Bagirov, A.Vezirov and A.Mutallibov seriously complicated situation in the Republic. (Musa I.M. International relations and Azerbaijan. Baku, 2005, p.478). When tragic process of withdrawal of over 200 thousand Azerbaijani from Armenia had started, Armenians of Garabagh were afraid of the similar actions against them. Unfortunately, Azerbaijan government failed to correctly evaluate situation and did not create conditions favorable for location of Azerbaijani refugees in Garabagh. At the same time, Armenians under 3 the control of USSR were equipped by arms and received required support from abroad. Through the period when empire moved towards collapse there emerged hurdles for a united strong resistance of our nation to enemy and the gap between authorities and people became even deeper. That is why, the enemy by use of all possible means succeeded to change the situation for its favor. It must be noted, that despite tense political situation through that period, Azerbaijan government speeded up construction of some buildings in Daglyg Garabagh, while Armenians at the same period were equipped by arms by Armenia and powerful supporters. In order to prevent all arguments of Armenians the government of Azerbaijan sent supplies to all regions of Autonomous Region and undertook any effort to improve social situation in the region. Events were not correctly evaluated, Azerbaijan mostly did not held firm position and regarded actions of Armenians as desire to impede reforms in the country. Azerbaijan authorities evaluated actions of Armenians as "storm of emotions" ("Baku" newspaper, July 14, 1989). With collapse of USSR the South Caucasus turned into the arena of ethnic conflicts. On the background of fight between forces attempted to preserve the Union and their opponents the hostility between nations became even deeper. Armenian nationalists played the role of catalyst of national hostility. Instability in South Caucasus, various attitudes of great powers to these processes and absence of farsighted leader able to preserve the unity in the country led to unwanted results for Azerbaijan. M.Gorbachev coming to power in 1985 held pro-Armenian position and did not refrain from expressing preconceived opinion about Azerbaijan. M.Gorbachev said about Garabagh problem that "Garabagh problem" exists and its roots are deep. The problem deepened because at a certain stage the attitude of Azerbaijan government to population was ...inhuman" (Armenian terrorism and crimes: in Azerbaijan, Turkey and around the world. Baku, 1994, p. 16). Preconceived opinion of a head of state was the evidence of Russian chauvinism. Gorbachev was aware that social-economic situation in Garabagh was exceptionally well. He just assisted to activity of Armenian nationalists. On January 12 of 1989 due to resolution of Supreme Soviet of USSR under leadership of Gorbachev the Special Governing Committee (SGC) was created in Daglyg Garabagh Autonomous Republic (DGAR). A.Volski, who headed a special committee created for the first time through the history of Union under the leadership of Gorbachev, was pro-Armenian chauvinist. He was one of those who created condition favorable for blossoming of Armenian nationalism and separatism in Garabagh. Major activity of a body created by USSR authorities in Garabagh served for strengthening of positions of Armenians. At the same time, SGC attempted to create conditions for gradual convey of Garabagh under subordination of Russian Federation. They tried first of all to convey control over enterprises to Russia or other dependent countries. All these were planned before 4 creation of SGC and Volski was closely involved in this. Newspaper "Baku" noted that "A.Volski as a representative of Central Committee of Soviet CP and Supreme Soviet of USSR" took part at the meetings held by authorities of Azerbaijan and Armenia in DGAR on October 11, 1988. (Newspaper "Baku", October 12, 1988). From the activity of A.Volski it is clear who he is. Armenians were delighted when SGC was created in DGAR under supervision of A.Volski and ignoring decisions of Azerbaijan government intensified separatism and atrocities. However in the press the SGC activity evaluated as "positive". "Special Governing Committee, juridical and internal affairs bodies do everything possible in order to prevent ethnic clashes and killing of civilians" ("Baku" newspaper, July 12, 1989). It was the result of policy implement by this committee that nature of information sent to Moscow had changed, creating negative opinion about Azerbaijani, and evaluated terrorist groups of Armenians as their attempt for self-determination. Higher activity of Armenian lobby was clearly observed. Instead of restoration of order in the region the Special Governing Committee made the situation favorable for withdrawal of Azerbaijani from here. From the start of the conflict various groups and officials successively visited Garabagh openly or hidden. To clarify situation in DGAR and regulate activity of security forces the group of officials including USSR's Deputy Internal Affairs Ministry -S.Lusauskas, Head of Regular troops Colonel-General I.Shatalin and other officials visited Khankendi (Stepanakert). But this visit deteriorated situation and increased cases of killings and

The fish genera Gasterosteus, Hucho, Oxynoemacheilus, Salmo, and Schizothorax are examples of these groups among vertebrates, and the genera Magnibursatus (Trematoda), Margaritifera, Potomida, Microcondylaea, Leguminaia, Unio (Mollusca), and Phagocata (Planaria), among invertebrates. There is reason to believe that their ancestors spread to Europe through the Paratethys (or the proto-Paratethys basin that preceded it), where intense speciation took place and new genera of aquatic organisms arose.

  • A Brief Overview on Karabakh History from Past to Today
    Volume: 8 Issue: 2 Year: 2011 A Brief Overview on Karabakh History from Past to Today Ercan Karakoç Abstract After initiation of the glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) policies in the USSR by Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet Union started to crumble, and old, forgotten, suppressed problems especially regarding territorial claims between Azerbaijanis and Armenians reemerged. Although Mountainous (Nagorno) Karabakh is officially part of Azerbaijan Republic, after fierce and bloody clashes between Armenians and Azerbaijanis, the entire Nagorno Karabakh region and seven additional surrounding districts of Lachin, Kelbajar, Agdam, Jabrail, Fizuli, Khubadly and Zengilan, it means over 20 per cent of Azerbaijan, were occupied by Armenians, and because of serious war situations, many Azerbaijanis living in these areas had to migrate from their homeland to Azerbaijan and they have been living under miserable conditions since the early 1990s.

  • 40 CHURCHES in 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting
    40 CHURCHES IN 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting at the airport, transfer to the hotel and check-in. The first steps of your Pilgrimage will start from Katoghike Holy Mother of God and Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Churches, both dating back to the XIII century, situated in the centre of Yerevan. To get acquainted with the capital of Armenia, we will have a City Tour in Yerevan - one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the only one, that has a "Birth Certificate" - a cuneiform inscription, left by King Argishti I on a basalt stone slab about the foundation of the city in 782 BC, displayed at the Erebuni Fortress-Museum. Yerevan is often pegged as the "Pink City" because of the colour of the stones used to build much of the city centre. Another name of Yerevan is an "Open-air Museum", the reason of which you will understand upon your visit. We will start the City tour from visiting Cascade Monument which is about 450 meters high and 50 meters wide. A panoramic view from the top of Cascade opens up a breathtaking city view with Opera House, Mount Ararat, Swan Lake, Republic Square and posh Northern Avenue, along which you will walk down during the tour. We will also visit Matenadaran, which means a "book-depository" in old Armenian. Indeed, Matenadaran is the pride of Armenian culture, the world's largest storage of ancient manuscripts. In fact, it is a scientific research institute of ancient manuscripts which stores more than 17 thousand ancient manuscripts and more than 100 thousand ancient archival documents.

In the upcoming days, Azerbaijan commemorates the twenty-second anniversary of the atrocious crimes committed against the civilians and defenders of the town of Khojaly, situated in the Nagorno Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Late into the night of February 25, 1992 the town of Khojaly has become under the intensive fire from the town of Khankendi and Askeran that already occupied by Armenian forces. At night from February 25 to 26 the Armenian armed forces supported by the ex- Soviet 366th regiment completed the surrounding of the town already isolated due to ethnic cleansing of Azerbaijani population of its neighboring regions. The joint forces have occupied the town which has been brought in rubbishes by heavy artillery shelling. After all 150 people defending the town were killed by overwhelmed fire and by superior forces of advancing army regiments the remaining handful of the town’s defendants provided a humanitarian corridor for several hundreds of the town’s residents to escape from their homes.

Present-day Armenia is bounded by Georgia to the north, Iran to the south-east, Azerbaijan to the east and Turkey to the west. From 1920 to 1991 Armenia was a Soviet Socialist Republic within the USSR, but historically its land encompassed a much greater area including parts of all present-day bordering countries (see fig.). At its greatest extent it occupied the plateau covering most of what is now central and eastern Turkey (c. 300,000 sq. km) bounded on the north by the Pontic Range and on the south by the Taurus and Kurdistan mountains. During the 11th century another Armenian state was formed to the west of Historic Armenia on the Cilician plain in south-east Asia Minor, bounded by the Taurus Mountains on the west and the Amanus (Nur) Mountains on the east. Its strategic location between East and West made Historic or Greater Armenia an important country to control, and for centuries it was a battlefield in the struggle for power between surrounding empires. Periods of domination and division have alternated with centuries of independence, during which the country was divided into one or more kingdoms.

  • 1 ...The Khojaly Massacre Is a Bloody Episode. It Is a Continuation of The
    ...The Khojaly massacre is a bloody episode. It is a continuation of the ethnic cleansing and genocide policies that the Armenian chauvinist-nationalists have been progressively carrying out against the Azerbaijanis for approximately 200 years. These accursed policies, supported by the authorities of some states, were constantly pursued by Tsarist Russia and the Soviets. After the demise of the USSR these policies led to the displacement of Azerbaijanis from their homelands, exposing them to suffering on a massive scale. In all, two million Azerbaijanis have at various times felt the weight of the policies of ethnic cleansing and genocide pursued by aggressive Armenian nationalists and stupid ideologues of "Greater Armenia". ...Today the Government of Azerbaijan and its people must bring the truth about the Khojaly genocide and all the Armenian atrocities in Nagorny Karabakh, their scale and brutality, to the countries of the world, their parliaments and the public at large and achieve the recognition of these atrocities as an act of genocide. This is the humane duty of every citizen before the spirits of the Khojaly martyrs. An international legal and political assessment of the tragedy and proper punishment of the ideologues, organizers and executors are important in order to avoid in future such barbarous acts against humanity as a whole...
