An article titled "Armenia-Azerbaijan: Unveiling the Untold Story of the Karabakh Conflict" has been published on the renowned "Atlantic" Radio website in Colombia.
In this article, Colombian journalist Paola Vargas passionately recounts the horrifying atrocities he bore witness to during his visit to Azerbaijan's recently liberated territories. His primary aim is to shed light on the "barbarism Azerbaijan endured" for the benefit of his readers.
Vargas vividly describes the indelible scars left behind by the unimaginable atrocities committed in Karabakh, which had been under Armenian occupation for nearly three decades. The arduous task of reconstructing and rehabilitating these areas, marred by destruction and landmines, will demand considerable time and resources.
Expressing his shock, Vargas laments the transformation of Azerbaijani cities, once vibrant and thriving before the Armenian occupation, into desolate "ghost cities." His anguish intensifies as he recounts his visit to Ganja, where residential areas had been mercilessly attacked with rockets. He questions the motives behind Armenia's assault on innocent civilians, asking, "Why do these truths not receive the attention they deserve in the international media?"
Vargas also documents the extensive reconstruction and development efforts initiated by the Azerbaijani government. He notes that these projects, marked by remarkable progress, hold promise for the swift revival of life in these regions.
The article features excerpts from Vargas's interview with Hikmat Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration. It emphasizes Azerbaijan's commitment to treating Armenian residents of Karabakh as equal citizens with security guarantees and underscores Azerbaijan's role as a peace advocate while condemning the irresponsible and provocative statements made by Armenian leadership.
