“Unfortunately there were many tragedies like Khgojaly genocide in the world, and I witnessed some of them,” said world-famous photographer Reza Deghati at his meeting with media representatives at Heydar Aliyev Centre, APA reports.
He said that Khojaly tragedy was terrible because it happened one night: “ Cutting abdomen of women, killing children, removal of people’s eye alive was not a tale, witnesses of the tragedy, participants told me this.”
- Deghati said that he faced with Armenians’ threats for times as he delivered Khojaly genocide to the world and stressed these threats continue today too: “My three projects were cancelled in France during the four months when I worked in Azerbaijan. Armenians started an information war after being defeated in the war. One of their victims is me. However, I will not avoid saying just words. I think that I am linked to Azerbaijani history, that is why I consider doing these works as my duty. Currently, I want to put all of my works aside and shoot territories of Karabakh, liberated from occupation, village-by-village and write down to history, and then prepare an exhibition, a documentary film on the basis of it.”
