Russian researcher to publish trilogy on Garabagh conflict
A prominent Russian journalist and researcher plans
to publish a trilogy soon dedicated to the history of the
Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh.
Yuri Pompeyev`s books will reflect Armenian nationalism and facts concerning the policy of destruction pursued in the occupied Azerbaijani territories. The author proves with historic facts that Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh, an Azerbaijani region occupied by Armenia since the early 1990s, belongs to Azerbaijan.
Pompeyev told the Baku-based Lider TV channel that the publication of the trilogy is being facilitated by the youth forum of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) and supported by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.
``These books will back up with facts that Armenian nationalism has caused dire tragedies in the history of the region,`` Pompeyev said. ``This trilogy proves that, until real hosts return to Upper Garabagh, prosperity of the region is impossible.``
Pompeyev, an academician of Russia`s Natural Sciences Academy, is one of the first journalists in the entire former Soviet Union covering the January 20 tragedy and the Khojaly massacre perpetrated by Armenians in Upper Garabagh in 1992.
Hundreds of civilians were crushed or injured by the Soviet troops in Baku on January 20, 1990 on an order from the USSR leadership that was trying to maintain the Communist regime in Azerbaijan and strangle the national liberation movement. On February 25-26, 1992, thousands of Azerbaijani civilians were slain by Armenian forces in the Khojaly district.
Armenia and Azerbaijan waged a war over the mountainous region of Upper Garabagh in the early 1990s, which claimed some 30,000 lives and displaced about one million Azerbaijanis. Armenia has been occupying over 20 percent of Azerbaijan`s internationally-recognized territory since then. The ceasefire accord was signed in 1994, but peace talks, mediated by the U.S., Russia and France through the OSCE Minsk Group, have been fruitless so far, and sporadic clashes on the frontline continue.
