Said Mahammad al-Vazareh Maragheyi

During the bloody March days in Baku, I strictly asked the new government led by Shaumyan to secure the safety of Iranians and their property and called upon the parties to end, by any means and methods, the killings and lootings, and restoration of peace… Many people died from both sides in this devastating wat. So, only the commission set up by myself to collect and identify the wounded and killed established that over 5 thousand Iranians and non-Iranian Muslims were killed, and the said commission was tasked with shrouding and burial of these corpses. Said Mahammad al-Vazareh Maragheyi, “Political memories”, Tehran, 1994, p. 49.

22 İyul Milli Mətbuat Günüdür.

Azərbaycan mətbuatı tarixində 1918–20-ci illər əvvəlki dövrlərə nisbətən ən yüksək inkişaf mərhələsini yaşayıb. Bu dövrün mətbuatı həm keyfiyyət, həm də kəmiyyət baxımından milli mədəniyyətin mühüm tərkib hissəsi kimi Azərbaycan həyatının canlı salnaməsinə çevrildi. İki il içərisində ölkədə 100-ə yaxın qəzet və jurnal nəşr olundu. Cümhuriyyət dövrü mətbuatının səciyyəvi xüsusiyyəti təkcə onun say göstəricisində deyil, hər şeydən əvvəl ideya-məzmun zənginliyində idi.
Azərbaycan Xalq Cümhuriyyəti dövründə aşağıdakı milli istiqlal ideyalı mətbuat orqanları nəşr olunmuşdur:”İstiqlal”, “Azərbaycan”, “İttihad”, “Gənclər yurdu”, “Qurtuluş” və s.
Bu gün münasibətilə mətbuat sahəsində fəaliyyət göstərən bütün əməkdaşları təbrik edir, işlərində uğurlar arzulayırıq.

In the telegram dated November 29, 1919, sent by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, M.H. Jafarov, to his Armenian colleague, it is stated that, in addition to these four villages, Armenians besieged Klit and detailed villages, 300 men were killed and 30 women were captured in the Daraleyaz district, and regular troops are being sent in this direction. He demanded the Armenian government to stop these actions. The representatives of the above-mentioned villages repeatedly appealed to different addresses about the danger awaiting them and asked for help to be sent. The villagers tried not to respond to the sedition of the Armenians in order to prevent them from aggressive actions.

In many parts of Anatolia, Armenians took up arms and used measures that undermined the security of the state behind the front. On the one hand, rioting in cities and towns, Armenians engaged in a shootout with the Ottoman security forces. On the other hand, in particular, they took actions that would put the Ottoman troops in a difficult position on strategically important issues, such as communications, as well as the transportation of soldiers and ammunition to the Caucasian front and to the rear.

Speaking at the event, the head of the Northern Regional Center of the Ombudsman, Bahruz Efendiyev, confirmed that Azerbaijan is a country that prioritizes secular, democratic and humanistic principles with the decree “Abolition of the Death Sentence” signed by Heydar Aliyev on February 10, 1998. Noting that the death penalty was abolished for the first time in the East with this decree, the speaker stated that this policy is successfully continued today. More than 15 employees of the Complex participated in the seminar.

According to historians

Georgian writer and historian Felix Tsertisivadze writes in his book “The Forgotten Genocide”:
After all, why did the Armenians and their patrons kill the Azerbaijanis and expel them from their land?
Really, why?
Because the Azerbaijanis gave them shelter in their land in the 19th century?
It is likely that Azerbaijanis did not complain or protest because of the Armenians settling in the territories that are now called the Armenian government, but actually are the historical lands of the Azerbaijanis.
Maybe because Armenian refugees from Iran were given the best land in Karabakh?
Maybe because many Armenian marshals, scientists, champions, artists, composers, writers and other world-famous people were fed and raised with the bread and water of Azerbaijan?
Do you pay for hospitality and generosity with murder?

On January 22, 1920, APC Foreign Minister F. Kh. Khoyski sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia and declared: “I received information from my government that on January 19, the troops of the Armenian government, together with armed groups, started offensive operations from Zangezur in the direction of Shusha province, all Muslim villages along their route were destroyed, 9 of them were destroyed in recent days…it seems that the Armenian troops, fulfilling a certain plan of their government, began to destroy the Muslim villages again, subjecting the inhabitants to inhuman massacres. Such disregard of the obligations undertaken by the Armenian government, completely devaluing the already reached agreements, deprives my government of certainty and the possibility to settle the existing relations through peace negotiations…

Armenian armed groups entered the city on May 1 (1918) and killed 713 Muslims in the lower part of the city that day. Most of them were women and children. Houses on the ” Boyuk Shose” and “Bazar” streets were robbed. Hamazasp’s armed groups divided the city into four parts and created a separate headquarters in each part. The first headquarters was established next to the Leontev garden, the second headquarters was established on the territory of the Armenian church, the third headquarters was established on the hill near the Muslim cemetery, and the fourth central headquarters was established on the height of the Jewish settlement.
