Azerbaijani Diaspora organizations in Turkey made statement against
France, State Committee for Azerbaijanis Abroad told the APA.

Azerbaijani Diaspora organizations in Izmit, Izmir, Mughla, Antalya,
Balikesir, Ankara, Manisa, Edirne, Adana and Istanbul held press
conference and objected to France Parliament National Assembly
decision, which will punish those who deny false Armenian genocide.

Their statement says that Armenians occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan
territories and perpetrated genocide in Khojali in the result of which
hundreds of Azerbaijanis were killed, over thousand were missing and
became invalids and about one million became refugees.

They also said that the decision of France Parliament is groundless
and was not proved historically.
