A number of the Armenian historians speaking about the statistics of 1830 are wrong in saying that during the Persian rule (that is, till the Turkmenchay Treaty) in the eastern Armenia 30-50 per cent of the total number of population consisted of the Armenians. In reality, according to the official statistics after the Russian occupation, the Muslim population of the Eastern Armenia was over 80 per cent, while the number of the Armenian population was about 20 per cent there.

Karabakh has never been a part of the Armenian State until the Armenians captured it by brute force in 1992.

Besides, the Armenians, particularly those who live in the United States, get enormous incomes on the account of the lies about the genocide

- Specialist in Russian affairs - Journalist of The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Observer and The Sunday Telegraph The exact number of victims is still unclear, but there can be little doubt that Azeri civilians were massacred by Armenian Army in the snowy mountains of Nagorno-Karabakh last week. Refugees from the enclave town of Khojaly, sheltering in the Azeri border town of Agdam, give largely consistent accounts of how Armenians attacked their homes on the night of 25 February, chased those who fled and shot them in the surrounding forests.
