Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, while in Lebanon, reminded Israel about the latter using cluster bombs in the Gaza Strip, saying that, his country "will use all the means to keep this issue on the international agenda."

Unfortunately, the memory of the Turkish politicians is highly selective, otherwise they would have tried to "keep in the international agenda" also the issue of the banned weapons usage by the Azerbaijanis against the people of Karabakh in the early 90s of the last century. There is a comment that has already appeared in the press on Erdogan's statement. It reads that on March 25, 1994 cluster bombs were used by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces while striking the positions of the NKR Defense Army, as well as while bombing the peaceful population of the NKR, the evidences of which are a lot.

Under the disposal of Panorama.am were found 16-year-old shots where the first head of the OSCE Minsk Group Mario Raffaelli gives an evidence of the usage of the prohibited weapons against the civilians of Stepanakert and surrounding regions. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxV5PKsNK04 )

Perhaps this testimony will refresh Erdogan’s memory and he will put into the international agenda the issue of liability of Azerbaijan. Unless, of course, he is not afraid of Baku’s reaction…
