MP proposes to discuss fake `Armenian genocide’ issue in parliament
Chairman of Yurddash Party, MP Mais Safarli has proposed to discuss
the fake `Armenian genocide’ issue in the Azerbaijani parliament.
Safarli told a Tuesday session of the Mili Majlis (parliament) that
parliaments of several countries have recognized the false `Armenian
genocide’ due to the propaganda conducted as well as funds spent by
Armenians for years.
`Armenians’ aim to divert the world community’s attention from the
occupation of Upper Garabagh, damage the image of Turkey and get
compensations from this country.’
Safarli noted that the Turkish parliament will discuss the issue of
fabricated `Armenian genocide’ on Wednesday and that the Azerbaijani
parliamentarians should show solidarity with their Turkish
colleagues.
`If necessary, a common working group of Azerbaijani and Turkish MPs
should be set up,’ he added.*
