According to the Turkish ambassador to Azerbaijan Hulusi Kilic,
in today's world, double standards are applied both with regards to
both Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the Cyprus issue.
"Some Western countries, who constantly speak about the human rights,
quietly turn a blind eye on human rights violations in Cyprus and
Karabakh issue. Turkey will always support the Turkish Republic of
Northern Cyprus and Azerbaijan," said the ambassador.
In his speech, Rauf Denktash's son Serdar Denktash thanked Pashayeva
for her initiative.
"This book tells the Azerbaijani readers about fair fight of the
Turks of Cyprus. This book assumes great importance from the point
of view of familiarizing the Azerbaijani readers with our history,"
said Serdar Denktash.
