STEPANAKERT. - After Karabakh schoolgirl Adeline Avakimyan received

an answer from Baku to the letter she addressed to the President of

Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, journalists of independent newspaper Nor

Edge decided to find out how much the answer satisfied her.

 

"You cannot call that an answer because an employee of Azernaijani

presidential administration named Aslanov did not give an outright

answer to any of my questions, although his letter was twenty times

longer than mine," said Adeline.

 

"I wrote that President Aliyev always speaks about Karabakh and war

as if he has nothing else to think of and no other problems or goals

actually trouble him. I asked, why he always thinks of invading our

country. Why do they need Karabakh, which is not theirs? Isn't he

satisfied with his own lands? I also wrote that if he starts a new

war the whole Armenian nation will rise to defend our land but he,

his children, relatives and friends will hardly go fighting - they

will send ordinary Azerbaijani youth.

 

I asked the President why he always buys guns when he could have used

that money to build an easy and happy life for your people. Isn't it

better than sending people to war? If I knew I will get this kind

of reply I would never write that letter. Instead of answering my

questions, they turned to telling fairy tales. They think I don't

know the history of my country and try to fool me. What I badly

dislike is that they referred to me as Azerbaijani citizen and called

Stepanakert Xankandi. As if they, the strangers, are to deice how to

call my hometown," she said.

 

Asked about the invitation to visit Azerbaijan, Adeline said she

cannot accept the invitation.

 

"How can they invite me to Azerbaijan when in response to my letter

Azerbaijani filled Internet with threats to destroy all the Armenians,

began to call me and my compatriots with all sorts of dirty words.

 

They think that I don't know how they killed and expelled thousands

of Armenians living in Azerbaijan. I got convinced how aloof they are

to me. I don't believe them. Instead I would offer them to come and

see that there are Armenian alphabet letters carved on the stones of

Gandzasar, Amaras and other ancient temples of Artsakh," said Adeline.

 

On August 8, a schoolgirl from Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Republic

Adenile Avakimyan sent a letter to President of Azerbaijan Ilham

Aliyev.

 

"Mr. President,

 

Every time I watch TV, I read or listen to the stories of elders I

get surprised: all the time you speak about Karabakh and war as if

you have nothing else to think of. It seems you do not have any other

problems or goals and no other issue actually troubles you.

 

I never saw an Azerbaijani. I do not think about you, about your

country and neither do my parents. I do not really understand what you

want from our country. I know that you have never been to Artsakh,

you have never seen our Gandzasar, Dadivank, Amaras but you always

think about capturing our country. Why can't you be satisfied with

your own lands? Why do you want Karabakh? Grandpa told me that before

the war, even 50 or 100 years ago, when Azerbaijanis still lived here,

they did not bury their deceased here, they took them to Azerbaijan,

because people knew that this is not their motherland. That is why

we have so few Azerbaijani cemeteries," reads her letter.
