groundless: first vice speaker
Azerbaijan, Baku, 5 September / Trend News A. Huseynbala /
Prepared by the Armenian Parliament, a draft on the Armenian genocide,
carried out in Azerbaijan, is groundless, said First Vice-Speaker of
the Parliament of Azerbaijan.
"This project is groundless. What genocide did the Armenians
incur?. Unlike Azerbaijanis, the Armenians were transported from Baku
in a civilized manner, they were not persecuted. They took their
properties, sold their homes," Ziyafet Askerov, First Vice Speaker of
the Parliament of Azerbaijan, told Trend News on September 5.
On Friday, the standing committee on foreign relations of Armenian
parliament discussed a draft declaration "on Azerbaijan government's
genocide against the Armenian population living in settlements of
Azerbaijan SSR and Nagorno-Karabakh autonomous region in 1988-1992."
Armenian parliament will bring the issue to discussion.
According to Asgarov, just against, the Azerbaijanis were expelled
from Armenia in the most cruel manner. "The whole world knows who was
subjected to repression and genocide. I believe that the preparation
of such a project is an absolutely stupid idea," said the First Vice
Speaker.
Over one million refugees and internally displaced persons live in
Azerbaijan. Of these, 250,000 people are ethnic Azerbaijanis expelled
from Armenia in 1988-1992, 600,000 - from the occupied territories of
Azerbaijan, 100,000 - from the border regions of Azerbaijan and
Armenia.
About 1,000 Azerbaijanis were killed in Armenia.
