Czech journalist rebuffs Azeri misinformation |
Azerbaijanis organized “exhibition” at the Lidice-Memorial, which was called the worst mockery of the Lidice victims by the Check journalist Dana Mazalova. The “exhibition” at the Lidice-Memorial was aimed to spread misinformation about events in Khojalu. Azerbaijanis tried to present the Czech village of Lidice , destroyed by the Nazis, and the Azerbaijani town of Khodjalu as twin towns.
The exhibition displayed “photographs” allegedly shot by civilian and military journalist Chingiz Mustafayev, the author of the famous cover of the Khojalu tragedy. None of the photographs has been made by Mustafaev, Dana Mazalova , well-known Czech journalist told a news conference in Yerevan jointly held with Ara Saghatelyan, Director of the Public Relations and Information Office of Armenian President. Dana Mazalova is an eyewitness of those events, she was covering the hostilities in Karabakh.
"Unfortunately, the Czech authorities did not check what the Azerbaijanis had said or shown. We together with my Czech colleagues have decided to respond to the black PR of Azerbaijan. The only person who can do it - it's me, because I have seen all the raw materials, which Chingiz Mustafayev made," Dana Mazalova said.
According to her, on the photographs, presented by the Azeri, naked bodies of men are shown, but the photos by Mustafaev featured only people in cloths.
After Mustafaev discovered the bodies of people, he carried some of them and when he returned for the rest, the corpses had been already mutilated and scalped, she said. The photos by Mustafaev featured only people in cloths, she stressed.
According to the Check journalist, a video, shot by Mustafayev shows that dead people are lying near Aghdam and one can see the single moving person in the Azerbaijani uniform, not even reacting to the helicopter above.

Goran Lenmarker remains optimistic about the possibility of solving the Karabakh conflict this year
“I remain optimistic about the possibility of solving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict this year. To have a preamble is a good starting point. I have big expectations that there really is a political will in both Baku and Yerevan to move forward and find a peaceful and lasting solution,” OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Special Representative on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict Goran Lennmarker told Trend News in an interview.
“I think both Azerbaijan and Armenia have realized that having an unresolved conflict is costly - not least when it comes to the human suffering. The short war in Georgia in 2008 reminded all of us that unresolved conflicts are very dangerous,” he added.
Touching upon the Armenian-Turkish relations, Mr. Lenmarker said: “I find the contact between Turkey and Armenia and the protocols they signed very important, and I think a real breakthrough is possible. Of course, now it is up to the Parliaments of Armenia and Turkey to take this a step further. I think this entire process can provide positive prospects, not only for Armenia and Turkey, but for the entire region of Caucasus and beyond.
