`Crimes against humanity couldn’t be prevented unless recognition of Khojaly genocide`
Russian political analyst Oleg Kuznetsov initiated a petition for recognition of the Khojaly genocide in the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on March 6.
He mentioned it in the conference on “The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: origins, peacekeeping and the role of civil society” held in Baku March 14, AzVision.az reports.

Kuznetsov said the petition is addressed to the deputies of Russian State Duma and Federation Council. “The genocide committed in Khojaly by Armenian separatists is an act of terrorism and crime against humanity. The adoption of the petition is not within my competence. However, I think that it was necessary to raise this petition. Raising the petition about such a barbaric crime committed at the end of the twentieth century is important. The crimes committed in Khojaly are today committed in Syria and Iraq. Thus, crimes against humanity couldn’t be prevented unless the first cause is eliminated, the Khojaly genocide is recognized. Therefore, I urge not only Azerbaijanis, but all the humanity to support this petition. People supporting elimination of terrorism must support this petition,” he added.
