Mubariz Gurbanli The US Congress again intends to put the issue of
the so-called "Armenian genocide" for consideration.

Milli Medjlis (Azerbaijani parliament) must voice protest to the US
Congress due to the upcoming discussions of the mythical "Armenian
genocide", Mubariz Gurbanli, deputy of Milli Medjlis and deputy
executive secretary of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party, has told the
next plenary session of the Azerbaijani parliament.

"The committee of international relations and interparliamentary
ties of Milli Medjlis must send an official letter to the US Congress
containing protest due to the discussions of the issue of the so-called
‘Armenian genocide’ due on March 4", he said.

The deputy also offered to send a deputy group to the United States to
hold consultations with the US Congressmen saying that the discussion
of the issue of the so-called "Armenian genocide" contradicts to the
national interests of Azerbaijan.
