Recognizing the so-called "Armenian genocide" by the Swedish Parliament
is a historical mistake, Swedish MP from the Christian Democratic
Party Desire Petrus said at a meeting with representatives of the
Congress of Azerbaijanis in Sweden, the Congress said.
During the meeting, members of the congress informed Petrus about the
realities of Karabakh. The answers to MP's all questions were justified
by historical facts. She got copies of the UN resolutions on the
unconditional liberation of Azerbaijani territories. It was reported
about the genocide committed by Armenians in Khojaly and other occupied
territories by demonstrating photos, video and written evidence.
She said that she was very saddened by these facts.
After the meeting, the books about Karabakh and Azerbaijan by famous
foreign historian was presented to Swedish MP.
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claims that the predecessor of Turkey -
Ottoman Empire - made "genocide" against Armenians living in Anatolia
in 1915. Willing its recognition throughout the world, Armenians
strengthened propaganda of "genocide" and achieved its recognition
by the parliaments of several countries.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
