inter-parliamentary relations.

Genocide Resolution passing.
`In fact Armenian Genocide is figment of sick imagination. Armenian
nationalists are not interested in studying of documents on 1915
events, as they take interest in spreading false rumors instead of
revealing historical record. Armenians exterminated over 2 million
Azerbaijanians and Turks,’ the document reads. Azerbaijani MPs are
also confident that resolution wil be rejected by the U.S. Congress.
