ArmInfo. Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan advices Azerbaijan
to stop gaining a role of the genocide victim.

Asked about marking in Azerbaijan of the regular date of the genocide
"made by Armenians", Vardan Oskanyan replied: ‘We have got a good
advice for Azerbaijan – to pass through the genocide as to have such a
fact as genocide in the history of the nation is not good. Let them
not to compete with us artificially in this matter. Stemming from
our own experience we can say that genocide is a big hurt. And the
next generation will not be grateful to the incumbent authorities
for their attempts to artificially force genocide on the Azerbaijani
people. They know there was nothing of the kind. This is the result
of their imagination’. Moreover, Oskanyan added that the attempts to
have a role of the victim of the genocide are made for fortification
of hatred and for preparing to fulfill their final goal, i.e. –
to try to resolve the issue by means of war. ‘These are dangerous
games. and one should do everything possible to prevent them. The
world community should send a strict signal to Azerbaijan about the
necessity of stopping such an approach, and trying to settle the
conflict via an acceptable option at the negotiating table together
with Armenia and Nagornyy Karabakh’, – Armenian foreign minister said.
