Genocide"

Azerbaijani NGOs and media should jointly struggle against the so
called "Armenian genocide", politicians said.

"We should propaganda this the whole year in order to prove
groundlessness of Armenians’ claims to the so called genocide," the
Eurasian International Research Institute Chairman Kamala Pashayeva
said at an arrangement in the Ataturk Centre.

Every year on April 24 Armenians mark anniversary of the so-called
"genocide", falsifying historical facts, making baseless claims
against Ankara. In 2006, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
proposed to Armenian President to create a joint commission. However,
the Armenian side did not accept the proposal saying that it did not
have a doubt on interpretation of the event.

"Armenians are trying to recognize the so called "Armenian genocide"
by the world community owing to their combined diasporas abroad daily
and monthly. We must take the same route. We cannot make the
government responsible for this. A strong state needs people’s
support," Pashayeva said.

"Turkey insists on investigation the genocide on the basis of
historical documents, but Armenians denied the offer. There are not
documents proving Armenians’ claims to genocide," a member of the New
Azerbaijan Party Political Council Aydin Mirzazade said.

"In 1915, there were lived only 1 million Armenians in the Ottoman
Empire. However, now Armenians say that 1.5 million Armenians were
killed there. Armenians are the first nation in history that forged
such an event," he said.

Mirzazade offered to implement serious agitation among youth in
Azerbaijan in order to prove falsity of Armenians’ claims to genocide.

"April 24 is the day of Armenian lie," Azerbaijani deputy Ganira
Pashayeva said. "Everybody knows the true history of Armenians’
propaganda against Turks. Even those countries which recognize
"Armenian genocide" know that this is a lie," the deputy said.

Now the main issue is to prevent Armenians’ claims to
genocide. Armenians’ target is not only Turkey, but the whole Turkic
world. The propaganda against Armenians must be our common
mission. This is must be a struggle of each Turk," she added.

There are much more Turks in the world than Armenians, but Armenians
succeeded to advance their claims thanks to their combined
activity. We must work together in order to inform the world community
about the falsity of the event. "Our young generation must know that
this claim is directed against them. We must struggle against
Armenians through Internet as well," Pashayeva said.
