Ilham Aliyev released a statement on 24 February pegged to the12th
anniversary of the killing by Armenian and Soviet army troops of more than 600
residents of the Azerbaijani-populated village of Khodjaly in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Turan reported. Aliyev characterized those killings as "one of the most horrible
crimes against humanity," and as the continuation of a policy of "ethnic
cleansing and genocide" directed by Armenians against Azerbaijanis over
almost two centuries. Aliyev pledged that the Azerbaijani leadership will
continue its efforts to secure a "fair" solution to the conflict. LF
