    Shukru Elekdag The only way to achieve peace in the region is the
    complete withdrawal of Armenians from the occupied Azerbaijani
    territories.

    "The delegation of the members of Turkish parliament's Foreign Affairs
    Commission will leave for Washington on Sunday on the eve of the
    discussion of the resolution on the so-called Armenian genocide in
    the US Congress on March 5.

    I represent our party in the delegation. We will hold a meeting in
    the Committee on foreign Affairs and try to impede the discussion of
    the "Armenian genocide" resolution," member of Turkish parliament's
    Foreign Affairs Commission, former Turkish ambassador to Washington,
    former undersecretary at the Foreign Ministry, parliamentarian from
    Republican People's Party (CHP) Shukru Elekdag said.

    To the question "It seems this time the situation is not pleasant"
    Elekdag said:

    "Armenian Constitutional Court rewrote the protocols signed in
    Zurich on October 11. It is impossible to explain differently the
    court's comments on the protocols. After that it will be difficult
    for Turkey to say "There was no genocide". To admit the decision of
    Armenian Constitutional Court means to admit Armenia's Declaration of
    Independence. In that declaration Armenia does not recognize Turkey's
    borders and has claims for our eastern territories. We should work
    hard to bring the Khojaly genocide to the attention of the world,
    while Armenians try to raise "genocide" claims in the Congress. The
    most large-scale genocide by Armenians in the past 105 years was
    committed against our Azerbaijani brothers," he said.

    Answering the question "Would you like the Azerbaijani parliamentarians
    to be with you during your meetings in the Congress?"

    the diplomat underlined the importance of joint struggle.

    "The only way to achieve peace in the region is the complete withdrawal
    of Armenians from the occupied Azerbaijani territories. No other way
    will cause the discussions between Turkey and Armenia and it will
    become difficult to establish peace in the region," he said.
