Rafael Huseinov underlines that discussion of "genocide" by Council
of Europe Committee of Ministries will fail "I don’t believe that the
issue on "genocide" will be included in agenda of Council of Europe by
request of Armenian delegation, as Council of Europe doesn’t advocate
inclusion of such sensible issues in the agenda". R. Huseinov, MM
deputy, participating in session of Council of Europe Committee of
Ministers, declared it for "Trend".

Armenian delegation applied in written form to Council of Europe
Committee of Ministers to discuss the issue of fictitious genocide of
Armenians in Turkey at next session of the Committee to be held January
17. R. Huseinov told that in April 2001, Armenian lobby prepared some
document on recognition of fictitious genocide of Armenians.

"However, no one in Council of Europe recognized Armenian delegation
to sign the document. Document was prepared by Armenian lobby and
Armenian representative office in France. We immediately answered
them: under the leadership of actual President Ilham Aliyev, who
at that time was at head of Azerbaijan delegation to PACE, we have
prepared document. It reflected real genocide committed by Armenians
against Azerbaijanis. Secretary General of Council of Europe, Terry
Davis, signed this document. Our document prevented forwarding of
the document prepared by Armenians", R. Huseinov underlined.

Accordingly to him, today Azerbaijan delegation has document confirming
the fact of genocide committed by Armenians against Azerbaijanis. It
means that at least bearing in mind balance document of Armenians
won’t go forward, and the issue won’t be brought up at upcoming
session. "Last years these attempts of Armenians failed, and we
believe that this time they fail likewise", deputy underlined.
