    Azeri parliament concerned at French bill on Armenian "genocide"

    [Presenter] The Azerbaijani parliament has addressed the National
    Assembly of France, expressing concern at the bill on the so-called
    Armenian genocide. The address says that Azerbaijan is seriously
    concerned about the bill adopted by the French parliament. MPs noted
    that the adoption of the law like this calls into question
    impartiality of France which is engaged in a peaceful solution to the
    Karabakh conflict as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group.

    [Correspondent] MPs discussed the daft bill adopted by French
    parliament's lower chamber which envisages the punishment of those who
    deny the so-called Armenian genocide. MPs noted that the adoption of
    the law like this calls into question impartiality of France which is
    engaged in the regulation of the Karabakh conflict as a co-chair of
    the OSCE Minsk Group. Speaker Oqtay Asadov noted the importance of
    addressing the [French] Senate over this issue.

    [Oqtay Asadov, speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament] Azerbaijan has
    always supported Turkey as Turkey supports Azerbaijan. This address,
    to be sent to the [French parliament], should express an opinion of
    the Azerbaijani parliament with specific facts. On the other hand, you
    can also appeal to their friends at the [French] parliament and
    international organizations in this regard.

    [Correspondent] The address made by the [Azerbaijani] parliament urges
    the French Senate to be careful and sensible with regard to this issue
    and notes that the adoption of this bill does not correspond to
    France's peacemaking mission.
