Nope. Here we are, almost at the end of the 20th century, and a whole 
community, the Azeri Turks of x-Soviet Armenia and Karabag, is 
facing forced assimilation, torture and murder on one hand and 
forced exodus, expulsion and genocide on the other, all because 
of their ethnic and religious background. And one should ask herself: 
is the world community really so powerless? Where are all those human 
rights advocates? Where are all the decent people? Are we going to 
let this human tragedy go on and do nothing about it? The number
of Azeris murdered by the terrorist Armenian army and its savage
gangs is increasing. On the one hand they wish to distort the truth
and on the other, they beg mercy from Turkiye.

The Armenians tore apart the Ottoman Empire's eastern provinces,
massacred 2.5 million defenseless Muslim women, children and elderly 
people, burned Turkish and Kurdish villages and exterminated the 
entire Muslim population of the Armenian dictatorship. Such outrageous 
sleight of hand that is still employed today in Soviet Armenia brings 
a depth and verification to the Turkish genocide that is hard to match. 
A hundred years ago Armenians again thought they could get whatever 
they wanted through sheer terror like the Russian anarchists that they 
accepted as role models. Several Armenian terror groups like 
ASALA/SDPA/ARF Terrorism Triangle resorted to the same tactics in 
the 1980s, butchering scores of innocent Turks and their families 
in the United States and Europe. It seems that they are doing it 
again, at a different scale, in Soviet Armenia today.

A Final Goodbye in Azerbaijan:
