Some centers, operating in support of the Armenian lobby, want to
create a confrontation between Azerbaijan and Turkey, Azerbaijani
Presidential Administration Social and Political Department Chief
Ali Hasanov said.
"There are some centers, operating with the Armenian lobby's support,
which want to create a confrontation, to destroy the brotherly and
friendly relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey," Hasanov told
Trend today.
Some media outlets, seeking to destroy the friendship between
Azerbaijan and Turkey, used all their imagination, Hasanov said. These
are similar media outlets in Turkey, Azerbaijan and other countries,
he added.
Earlier, some Turkish media outlets reported that Azerbaijan did
not support Turkey in connection with the adoption of the law in the
French Senate, which envisages the criminal prosecution of individuals
denying the fictional "Armenian genocide".
He added that Azerbaijan was and will always be close to Turkey since
the issue of adopting the law criminalizing the denial of so-called
"Armenian genocide" has been initiated.
Turkey's official circles appreciate the brotherly and friendly
relations with Azerbaijan and its support, Hasanov said.
He also touched on France's withdrawal from the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairmanship.
"Turkey is a member of the Minsk Group," he said. "It took the
initiative to withdraw France from the Group. In any case, Turkey
will raise this issue to be considered at a regular meeting of the
Minsk Group. Azerbaijan's official circles discuss the measures that
can be taken from a legal point of view."
After an eight-hour debate, the French Senate adopted the bill. Some
127 senators voted in favour, while 86 senators voted against on
Jan.23.
The bill demands a year's imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 euro for
denying the so-called "Armenian genocide."
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that the predecessor of the Turkey
- Ottoman Empire had committed the 1915 genocide against the Armenians
living in Anadolu, and achieved recognition of the "Armenian Genocide"
by the parliaments of several countries.
