AZERI GENOCIDE

ABOUT THE AZERI GENOCIDE 


After the Republic of Azerbaijan regained its independence, it has become possible to renew the objective picture of the past history of our nation. The truth which for many years was kept back, is getting disclosed and misinterpreted events are getting their real value.

Numerous acts of genocide against Azerbaijanis, which for many years did not receive its deserved political and legal assessment, is one of the secret pages of our history.

The Gulustan and Turkmenchay agreements signed in 1813 and 1828 provided the legal ground for the partition of the nation of Azerbaijan and division of its historical lands. The occupation of the lands continued the national tragedy of Azerbaijan people. Within a short time, gross settlement of Armenians in the territories of Azerbaijan has begun. The occupation of Azerbaijani territories became an integral part of the genocide.

Armenians moved to Yerevan, Nakhchivan and Karabakh khanates have achieved to establish their administrative territorial unit of Armenian region despite their minority as compared to Azerbaijanis residing in the same area. This artificial division provided political reasons for the removal and annihilation of Azerbaijanis in their native lands. This was followed by propaganda of the establishment of the Great Armenia. In order to ensure the exculpation of the idea to establish this fictitious state in the territory of Azerbaijan, a wide-scale programme, aimed at the falsification of the national history of Armenians, was started. The distortion of the history of Azerbaijan and the whole Caucasus, formed an integral part of this programme.

Inspired by the idea of the establishment of the Great Armenia, Armenian invaders started to openly implement on a wide scale their evil actions against the nation of Azerbaijan during 1905-1907. Armenians started their brutal acts in Baku and further spread them through the rest of Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani villages in the current territory of Armenia. Hundreds of settlements were razed to the ground and thousands of people were savagely killed. The organizers of these events were creating an unfavorable image about the people of Azerbaijan to hide the truth and prevent these events from a correct political and legal evaluation.

They got use of the World War I, Russian revolutions in February and October of 1917, and managed to accomplish their ideas under the plea of the Bolshevism. The implementation of a cruel plan of cleansing the population of Azerbaijan in the provinces started by the Baku commune under the plea of fighting against counter-revolutionary elements in March of 1918. Armenian crimes have secured themselves an everlasting place in the memory of Azeri people. Thousands of Azerbaijani civilians, were murdered for the only reason of their belonging to the nation of Azerbaijan. Armenians destroyed dwelling houses and burnt people alive. Most of Baku was turned into ruins with national architectural sights, schools, hospitals, mosques and other monuments destroyed.

Azeri genocide was particularly cruel in Baku, Shamakha, Guba, Karabakh, Zangezur, Nakhchivan, Lenkaran and other regions. Many civilians in those areas were killed, the villages were brought to ashes and national monuments were razed to the ground.

After the establishment of the Azerbaijan National Republic, closest attention was paid to the March 1918 events. The Council of Ministers issued a decree on July 15th 1918, to establish an extraordinary committee for the investigation of those tragic events. The committee investigated the first stage of the March genocide; the brutal acts in Shemakha and the cruel crimes in the territory of Yerevan province. A special department was established under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to notify the community about the truth. The Azernaijan National Republic declared March 31st as a mourning day for two times - in 1919 and 1920. It was the first attempt in the history to give a political assessment to genocide against the people of Azerbaijan and to the aggressive process which continued for over a century. But the collapse of the Azerbaijan National Republic did not allow to finish this process.

In 1920, Armenians got use of the coming of the Soviet power into the South Caucasus, and declared the annexation of Zangezur and other regions of Azerbaijan to the Armenian Soviet Republic. They later started to utilize newer means to strengthen their policy, aimed at the deportation of Azeri people from these territories. For this purpose, they got use of the 23 December 1947 decree of the Soviet Council of Ministers "On removal of collective farmers and other Azerbaijani population from the Armenian Soviet Republic to the Kura-Araz lowlands of the Azerbaijan Soviet Republic". During 1948-1953, they finally achieved the purpose of mass deportation of Azeri people from their historical land, at the state level.

At the beginning of the 50th Armenians nationalists with the help of their defenders began to conduct a cruel aggressive campaign against the nation of Azerbaijan. In regular published books, magazines and newspapers in the territory of the former Soviet Union there were made the attempts to prove the belonging of our national culture, classic heritage and architectural monuments to Armenians. At the same time they strengthened their efforts to create a negative image about Azeri people worldwide. In order to create the image of "a long-suffering oppressed Armenia nation" they deliberately distorted the events which took part in this region in the beginning of the century. They called themselves the victims of the genocide, which they in reality conducted against Azeri people. Persecution of our compatriots in the territory of Yerevan, where the main population were Azerbaijanians and from the other parts of Armenia SSR led to their mass proscription. Armenians roughly violated the rights of Azeri people, created the obstacles to get the education in native language and exerted a strong pressure ipon them. The historical names of Azerbaijani villages were changed within a previously unforeseen process in the history of toponymy, when ancient names were replaced with the modern ones.

The trumped-up Armenian history was raised at the state political level in order to bring up younger generations of Armenians in the spirit of chauvinism. Brought up in the manner of Azeri literature and culture, which served to great humanism ideals, the young generation of Azerbaijanis stayed helpless before Armenia's extremist ideology.

The claims against the Azeri national spirit, honor and dignity, created an ideological platform for the political and military aggression. The Azeri genocide, which was not given a correct political and legal evaluation, led to distortion of historical facts in the Soviet media and misleading of the communities by Armenians. The leadership of Azerbaijan did not pay the sufficient attention to anti-Azeri propaganda, which raised and intensified among the soviet regime in mid-80s.

The deportation of hundreds of thousands of Azeris from their historical lands at the first stage of the Nagorny Karabakh conflict in 1988, also did not receive a correct political assessment in Azerbaijan. The autonomous republic of Nagorny Karabakh was taken from Azerbaijan's control and annexed to the Armenian SSR at the basis of an unconstitutional decree of Armenian Republic and under assistance of the Moscow-led Special Administration Committee. This fact caused a serious dissatisfaction among the nation of Azerbaijan and forced it to begin important political activities. Even though the aggressive policy aimed at the occupation of the territories of Azerbaijan, was strongly criticized at numerous rallies held in Azerbaijan, the political leadership still did not give up its passive and contemplative position. In January of 1990, Soviet troops were brought to Baku in order to prevent further development of the national liberation movement. Hundreds of Azeri people were killed and injured, as the result.

In February of 1992, Armenians accomplished unforeseen brutalities among the population of Hojali. The Hojali genocide saw thousands of Azeri people murdered and taken prisoners of war. The whole city was razed to the ground.

The adventurous policy of Armenian nationalists and separatists in Nagorny Karabakh, forced from their homelands over one million of Azeri nationals, who now have to live in tent camps.

The tragedies which took place in Azerbaijan in the XIX-XX centuries and resulted in occupation of Azeri lands, formed the consecutive stages of Armenia's purposeful policy against the Azeri people. Efforts were made to give a political assessment to only one of those events - the March 1918 massacre. The successor of the Azerbaijan National Republic - the Republic of Azerbaijan - considers it a historical duty to ensure a logical continuation to unfulfilled political decrees and political evaluation to the genocide.

Many of my online students have asked me to teach the correct use of 'could' - so here are the first 3 meanings. I'll send the final 3 meanings next week.

Could (modal verb) Part 1 Could (modal verb) Part 2Meaning 1: 'Could' is the past simple of 'can'. We use it to talk about what someone or something was able or allowed to do.Examples: When I was at school, I could swim much better than I can swim now.The exam was so difficult that I couldn't finish it. His mother said he could play football after he had finished his homework.Meaning 2: Could is used as a more polite form of 'can' when asking for permission. Examples: Excuse me, could I just interrupt for a moment, please? (note: this is much more polite than 'Can I interrupt, please'.)Hello, could I speak to Fiona Price, please? (note: this is what we say on the telephone.)Meaning 3: Could is used as a more polite form of 'can' when making a request.Examples: Could you please lend me your car for the weekend?Do you think you could possibly lend me fifty pounds (ё50) until Monday? (note: this is a more indirect question, and is therefore more polite.)Could you close the window, please?This week's proverb:He who pays the piper calls the tune.Meaning: The person who provides the money for something controls how it is spent.
Meaning 4: Expresses possibility, especially slight or uncertain possibility.Examples: She could leave at any time.This new drug could be an important step in the fight against heart disease.Be careful with that boiling water you could scald yourself!Meaning 5: We sometimes use could for making a suggestion Examples: We could go for a picnic tomorrow, if you like.You could always ask Tom to help you I don t think he would mind. (note: this means ' one option is to ask Tom to help you'.)Meaning 6: We use could to say, especially angrily, what we think someone else should do. In this case, could is emphasised strongly.Examples: Well, you could try to be a little more polite to my mother!I invited you ages ago you could have let me know sooner that you weren t coming!This week's proverb:Blood is thicker than water. Meaning: Family relationships are stronger than relationships with other people.I hope you enjoy this word study and your DailyStep audio lessons.

PART 2

Should (modal verb)
Meaning 1:
Should is used to show when something is likely or expected
Examples: The report should be finished this afternoon. (This means 'I expect it to be finished this afternoon.')The journey should take a couple of hours at the most.

Meaning 2: We use should to give advice and to say what is the best thing to do.

Examples: I should work harder on my English!You should go to the doctor if you feel sick.You shouldn t work so hard or you will always be tired.

Proverb:Time and tide wait for no man.

Should (modal verb)
Meaning 1: We use should when we want to say or ask what is the correct or best thing to do.

Examples: You should drive more slowly in this freezing weather.Do you think I should invite them to my party? Yes, I think you should. This television player never works as it should. Look at the picture it s terrible!I should have apologised to him after I was so rude. I ll call him later to say sorry.The baby is hungry he should have been fed hours ago.

Should I have closed the door after I left?
Yes, you should. (note: there are 2 other possible short answers here. 1. Yes, you should have. 2. Yes, you should have done.

The 2nd one is very informal.)
Meaning 2: We sometimes use should after I when we are giving advice. We also use would in the same way.
Examples: I shouldn t be concerned. It s not a serious problem. (note: this means I advise you not to be concerned .)If I were you, I should study English harder! (note: we can also use would here, but should sounds both a little stronger and slightly more formal.)

Meaning 3: We sometimes use should after why when we are asking the reason for something. Examples: Why should anyone want to be so cruel to an animal?Why shouldn t they go on holiday if they want to do so?

Proverb:One man's trash is another man's treasure.Meaning: What is useless to one person could be valuable to another.

Should (modal verb)

Meaning 4: We use should to express expectation, or to say that something will probably happen.Examples: My father should be here by now he usually arrives at this time.You should find the restaurant very easily with this map.Can you please finish this work by the end of the day? Yes, that shouldn t be a problem. (note: this means I don t expect that it will be a problem. )

Meaning 5: We use should after if , in case , and lest in formal English when we refer to an event that is possible in the future.Examples: If you should require any further information, please don t hesitate to contact me.Should you need any further assistance, I would be happy to help you. (note: the less formal version is If you need any further assistance... )If anyone should need to contact me, I will be reachable by mobile phone. (note: the less formal version is If anyone needs to contact me... )She took a map in case she should get lost. (note: the less formal version is ...in case she got lost.

Meaning 6: We use should after that and adjectives or nouns that show an opinion or feeling. Using should in these sentences emphasises the speaker s strength of feeling about the adjective.Examples: It strange that he should contact me after so many years. (note: you could also say it is strange that he contacted me... but using it s strange that he should contact me... emphasises how strange you think it is.)It s crazy that they should be so sad despite winning the lottery.

This week's proverb:A friend in need is a friend indeed.Meaning: A friend who helps when you are in trouble is a true friend.

Should (modal verb)

Meaning 7: We sometimes use should instead of would when the subject is I or We . This sounds quite formal or old-fashioned.Examples: I should like to see the menu again, please.We shouldn t expect them to fulfil their order before the New Year. (note: as We shouldn't expect... in this sentence could also have other meanings, I d advise you to say We wouldn t expect... in order to avoid confusion.)Meaning 8: We use should to express surprise in sentences that take the form of questions.Examples: I had just arrived home when who should call me but my old teacher!I was walking along the road when what should I find but a gold watch on the street!

Meaning 9: We say How should I know? to express irritation or exasperation when we want to say I cannot be expected to know. The stress is on the word I .Examples: "Where has David gone?" "How should I know? He never tells me anything these days. Do you know when the report will be finished? How should I know? I m still waiting for the figures from the sales department. (note: be careful when using this structure at work. Remember, using it expresses exasperation or irritation!)

This week's proverb:Variety is the spice of life.Meaning: Doing a lot of different things makes life more interesting.
