AMERICAN RAPPER WRITES AND COMPOSES “JUSTICE FOR KHOJALY” SONG

Baku, January 19 (AzerTAc). As part of the international awareness campaign “Justice for Khojaly”, American rapper Toni Blackman has written and composed a song of the same name.
A press-conference on this occasion was held Monday here during which Secretary General of the Islamic Conference Youth Forum (ICYF) Elshad Iskandarov said actions as part of the campaign are planned to be organized in February in about 30 countries. The song and clip will be presented during these events, Iskandarov added.
According to him, “the song features realities about the Khojaly genocide, and calls on the world community to condemn the tragedy culprits.”
Tony Blackman said at the press conference that she heard about Khojaly events earlier, but didn`t know details. “I took deep interest during my visit to Baku last November. It is easier to deliver messages by music and I am doing it with great pleasure. I believe that I am doing a good and just deed”.
Blackman said she was shocked when heard details of the Khojaly events.
At the end of the press conference, a petition to the U.S. President and Congress was signed which demands recognition of the events happened in Khojaly as a crime of genocide against humanity.
The Justice for Khojaly campaign was initiated by General Coordinator of the OIC Youth Foundation on Intercultural Dialogue Ms. Leyla Aliyeva.
