As a result of the 1992 Armenian aggression, nearly a million refugees still waiting for international resolution in Azerbaijan.
Márton Gyöngyösi, vice president of the National Assembly Foreign Affairs Committee - Gábor Vona floor leader and Tamás Hegedus deputy floor leader - submited a proposal to the National Assembly calling for the condemnation of Nagorno-Karabakh aggression by Armenia. At a press conference that the foreign press and diplomatic corps were also invited, Márton Gyöngyösi recalled Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan that led to an armed conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region after the breakup of the Soviet Union.
As a result of Soviet-Armenian military operations, Azerbaijan has lost 20% of its territory, 20,000 civilians were killed, 100,000 wounded, and about one million became homeless. The armed aggression has been culminated in the town of Khojali between February 25 to 26, 1992 when the invading forces organized an ethnic cleansing campaign killing 613 civilians of which 106 women and 83 children. Márton Gyöngyösi pointed out that while the UN Security Council, the European Parliament, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and NATO have condemned the genocide and called for the resolution of the status of refugees, the plight of a million refugees is unresolved to this day.
The Khojali genocide was one of the greatest atrocities of the nineties said Márton Gyöngyösi. While many national tragedies happening in the world every day, it is incomprehensible that some gets mentioned and others are accompanied by complete indifference. Jobbik repeatedly raised its voice against double standards within the European Union that appears particularly sensitive to human rights and human dignity. Aware of its historic responsibility, Jobbik invites the Hungarian parliament to condemn the Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan.
The press conference ended with the screening of a documentary summarizing the tragic event.
