Azerbaijani FM Issued Statement Against Resolution Adopted By U.S. On
Recognition Of Armenian Genocide
Tbilisi. October 12 (Prime-News) - Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan
issued a statement against the resolution adopted by the U.S. House
of Representative's Foreign Affairs Committee on recognition of the
Armenian genocide.
Trend news agency informs that the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan
condemns this decision as wrong and biased and considers it harmful
for the developments in the region and globally, the statement said
Azerbaijan supports the Turkish call to examine the archival
documents related to the World War I tragedies in this part of the
world. It is crucial to learn all details before taking steps.
Azerbaijan suffered itself from notorious ethnic cleansing by
Armenia, vivid example of which is genocide in Azerbaijani town of
Khojaly, where hundreds of women, kids, and elderly people have been
killed. Azerbaijan, which is also a victim of numerous terrorist acts
and occupation of territories by Armenia, knows well how Armenian
Diaspora and Government hide their own misdoings through the
aggressive propaganda.
MFA of Azerbaijan strongly urges the U.S. House of Representatives to
refrain from adopting the Resolution 106 in order to demonstrate that
the United States Congress is impartial and not under the pressure of
ethnic lobbies.
The U.S. House of Representative's Foreign Affairs Committee adopted
the draft Resolution 106, which characterizes the events of 1915 in
Ottoman Empire related to relocation of the part of the Armenian
population collaborating with invading forces, as "genocide".
