/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Azerbaijan and Turkey should join against France
over the adoption of the Armenian Genocide bill,’ said Azeri
parliamentarian Ganira Pashayeva. `First, Turkey should recognize the
genocide in Algeria perpetrated by France. Then Turkey should
recognize the genocide committed by Armenians against Azeris in
Khojaly. The economic relations with France should be
reconsidered. This move by the French parliament can serve as an
example for the other European states,’ she said. According to
Pashayeva, all this will have a negative impact on Azerbaijan.

`That is why we should at the level of Foreign Ministry and parliament
protest against the adopted bill. Over 70 thousand Armenians illegally
live and work in Turkey. The Turkish government should exile the
illegal Armenian migrants and such decision will not conflict with the
international law. If they speak of Genocide and take such moves
against Turkey, so why have they chosen this country for living? Let
them go to France or any other state that recognizes the Armenian
Genocide,’ she said. As for France’s being the co-chair of the OSCE
Minsk Group on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, Pashayeva
said, `I suppose we should think of this question, since France
demonstrated its position having passed such a bill.

The composition of the Minsk Group should be changed or the format be
expanded,’ reports Day.az.
