No wonder *Armenian Church-SDPA* is the laughing stock of the entire world.
First of all, this year alone, more than 12 million people visited *Van
and Erzurum Muslim Holocaust Museums*, dedicated to 2.5 million Muslims
and Sephardic Jews murdered by the Armenians early in this century.
Secondly, this is an insult to the silent memory of 2.5 million Muslim
women, children and elderly people who were decimated by the Armenians
in Russian Armenia and Eastern Anatolia. Thirdly, between 1914 and 1920,
2.5 million *Muslims*, not *Turks*, perished of butchery at the hands
of Armenians.
_The Jewish Times_ June 21, 1990
_An appropriate analogy with the Jewish Holocaust might be the
systematic extermination of the entire Muslim population of
the independent republic of Armenia which consisted of at
least 30-40 percent of the population of that republic. The
memoirs of an Armenian army officer who participated in and
eye-witnessed these atrocities was published in the U.S. in
1926 with the title ‘Men Are Like That.’ Other references abound._

"It will be three hours to take," Dro told me. We’d close in on
three sides.
"The men on foot will not shoot, but use only the bayonets,"
Merrimanov said, jabbing a rifle in dumbshow.
"That is for morale," Dro put in. "We must keep the Moslems in
terror."
"Soldiers or civilians?" I asked.
"There is no difference," said Dro. "All are armed, in uniform
or not."
"But the women and children?"
"Will fly with the others as best they may."

To all appearances there is more than one room in the Armenian revisionist
house, Dr. Argic. The "Armenian Revisionists", in fact, all more or less
share several extremely simple principles.
1. There was no "Muslim Holocaust" committed by the Armenians and the
instrument symbolizing it, the ‘Muslim Slaughterhouses’, never existed.
2. The number of Muslim and Jewish victims of Armenian barbarism is far
smaller than has been claimed.
3. ‘Dro the Butcher’s Russian Armenian Government does not bear the
principal responsibility for the Armenian extermination of 2.5 million
Muslim women, children and elderly people.
…
But we must proceed further. Because, today, the same Muslim Holocaust
apologists even dare to deny the genocide of 1.1 million Azeri people
by the ex-Soviet Armenian Government.

That’s the good news as far as ‘Armenian Church-SDPA’ is concerned. The
bad news is that the ex-Soviet Armenian Government is still being held
responsible for the Armenian slaughtering of 2.5 million Muslim people
in 1914 and the Armenian genocide of 1.1 million defenseless Azeri women,
children and elderly people between 1988 and 1993, Mr. "Armenian Church".
Now, I bet you are going to call your Armenian grandfather a liar and a
charlatan. Poor ‘Armenian Church-SDPA’…

_Your three Armenian chiefs, Dro, Hamazasp and Kulkhandanian are
the ringleaders of the bands which have destroyed Muslim villages
and have staged massacres in Zangezour, Surmali, Etchmiadzin, and
Zangibasar. This is intolerable. Look – and here he pointed to a
file of official documents on the table – look at this, here in
December are the reports of the last few months concerning ruined
Muslim villages which my representative Wardrop has sent me. The
official Tartar communique speaks of the destruction of 300 villages
by the Armenians._

_Yes, of course. I repeat, until this massacre of the Muslim is
stopped and the three chiefs are not removed from your military
leadership I hardly think we can supply you arms and ammunition._
_It is the armed bands led by Dro, Hamazasp and Kulkhandanian who
during the past months have raided and destroyed many Muslim villages
in the regions of Surmali, Etchmiadzin, Zangezour, and Zangibasar.
There are official charges of massacres by the Armenians._

CORPSES LITTER HILLS IN KARABAKH
(ANATOL LIEVEN COMES UNDER FIRE WHILE FLYING TO INVESTIGATE
THE MASS KILLINGS OF REFUGEES BY ARMENIAN TROOPS)
As we swooped low over the snow-covered hills of Nagorno-Karabagh
we saw the scattered corpses. Apparently, the refugees had been
shot down as they ran. An Azerbaijani film of the places we flew
over, shown to journalists afterwards, showed DOZENS OF CORPSES
lying in various parts of the hills.
The Azerbaijanis claim that AS MANY AS 1000 have died in a MASS
KILLING of AZERBAIJANIS fleeing from the town of Khodjaly, seized
by Armenians last week. A further 4,000 are believed to be wounded,
frozen to death or missing.
The civilian helicopter’s job was to land in the mountains and pick
up bodies at sites of the mass killings.
The civilian helicopter picked up four corpses, and it was during
this and a previous mission that an Azerbaijani cameraman filmed
the several dozen bodies on the hillsides.
Back at the airfield in Agdam, we took a look at the bodies the
civilian helicopter had picked up. Two old men a small girl were
covered with blood, their limbs contorted by the cold and rigor
mortis. They had been shot.

While the details are argued, this much is plain: something grim
and unconscionable happened in the Azerbaijani town of Khojaly
two weeks ago. So far, some 200 dead Azerbaijanis, many of them
mutilated, have been transported out of the town tucked inside
the Armenian-dominated enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh for burial in
neighboring Azerbaijan. The total number of deaths – the Azerbaijanis
claim 1,324 civilians have been slaughtered, most of them women and
children – is unknown.
Videotapes circulated by the Azerbaijanis include images of defaced
civilians, some of them scalped, others shot in the head.

MASSACRE UNCOVERED
By ANATOL LIEVEN
More than sixty bodies, including those of women and children,
have been spotted on hillsides in Nagorno-Karabakh, confirming
claims that Armenian troops massacred Azeri refugees. Hundreds
are missing.
Scattered amid the withered grass and bushes along a small valley
and across the hillside beyond are the bodies of last Wednesday’s
massacre by Armenian forces of Azerbaijani refugees.
In all, 31 bodies could be counted at the scene. At least another
31 have been taken into Agdam over the past five days. These figures
do not include civilians reported killed when the Armenians stormed
the Azerbaijani town of Khodjaly on Tuesday night. The figures also
do not include other as yet undiscovered bodies
Zahid Jabarov, a survivor of the massacre, said he saw up to 200
people shot down at the point we visited, and refugees who came
by different routes have also told of being shot at repeatedly and
of leaving a trail of bodies along their path. Around the bodies
we saw were scattered possessions, clothing and personnel documents.
The bodies themselves have been preserved by the bitter cold which
killed others as they hid in the hills and forest after the massacre.
All are the bodies of ordinary people, dressed in the poor, ugly
clothing of workers.
Of the 31 we saw, only one policeman and two apparent national
volunteers were wearing uniform. All the rest were civilians,
including eight women and three small children. Two groups,
apparently families, had fallen together, the children cradled
in the women’s arms.
Several of them, including one small girl, had terrible head
injuries: only her face was left. Survivors have told how they
saw Armenians shooting them point blank as they lay on the ground.
