question about the Turkish journalist regarding the decision of the
Swedish parliament regarding the so-called "Armenian genocide".
'We have already said that if the parliamentarians of any country
consider it necessary to assess the events that occurred 100 years ago,
they should also give a fair assessment to the situation establish in
the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, continuing occupation of Azerbaijani
lands, ethnic cleansing against Azerbaijan's displaced persons and
Khojaly genocide. If this assessment is given, it will be possible
to speak of the just attitude of parliamentarians to these issues',
