Baku. Elbrus Seyfullaev ` APA. Azerbaijani Parliament has released the
full text of appeal to US Congress. According to APA, the passage of
the draft resolution on the so-called Armenian genocide in the House
Committee of Foreign Affairs has caused great concern and rage.
`This unfair judgment, which is apparent neglect to the historical
realities and sacrifice the interests for the Armenian lobby, can be
characterized as a step that could create new problems in Asia Minor
and Southern Caucasus. We face with an attempt to turn remote
historical event, which up to present has not been completely
investigated and has not been objectively appraised, into a subject of
the political gamble to justify groundless claims of the Armenian
nationalists to the neighboring states. The researchers, who remain
loyal to the scientific truth, including western scientists, have
proved a long ago the nonexistence of any «genocide of Armenians» in
the history. Fiction about «genocide of Armenians» – is the outcome of
sick imagination based on false documents. The Turkish government has
opened the Ottoman Empire-related archives and has invited all
researchers, including the Armenian scientist, to get acquainted with
the historical documents of the beginning of the XX century. Besides
it, Turkish government suggests to establish the joint commission of
historians, but the Armenian side rejects judicious scientific polemic
thereby the Armenian side openly shows the real face of those who
disseminate a legend about «genocide of Armenians».
The appeal also says that turning down this proposal by Armenian
nationalists shows that they are not interested in unveiling the
historical truth, and, on the contrary, they are interested in
falsification and concealment of the facts: «The objective researches
show that early in the XX century the Armenian nationalists unleashed
a terror and perpetrate genocide in territory of modern Turkish
Republic and Caucasus, as a result more than 2 million innocent Turks
and Azerbaijanis were killed. Over the past 18 years Azerbaijani
parliament repeatedly appealed to the international organizations and
to the parliaments of the world, including US Congress, concerning the
crimes like genocide, which Armenian nationalists committed to
Azerbaijanis last century, particularly for recognition the genocide
committed on February 26, 1992, against the civilians of Azerbaijan
city Hojali. Unfortunately, so far USA has not appraised these
terrible events, which occurred in the face of all civilized world».
«A deliberate pro-armenian position is an apparent evidence of the
fact that Armenian nationalists’ far-fetched claims on the "genocide"
of the beginning of the XX century are accepted but the occupational
war against Azerbaijanis is neglected. In such conditions Armenian
Republic declares that it’s supporter of establishment of the
stability and mutual understanding in the region but in reality, it
keeps on holding under occupation 20% of Azerbaijan’s lands and having
sentenced one million of Azerbaijanis to the life of refugees and
IDPs, Armenia continues gross violation the norms and principles of
the international law. There is thought, which got implanted into
Azerbaijani society ` `the biggest hindrance for settlement of the
Armenian-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is application of
double standards by world powers, the invader is not named as invader
and left unpunished, moreover the occupant is equated to the victim’.
Unfair judgment made in the committee House of Representatives of US
Congress, the country which is the co-chair of OSCE Minsk group,
engaged in conflict solution, hinders to the attainment of peace in
the region and can destroy the positive results, reached till now in
the course of negotiations. However, we are sure that this decision,
which contradicts US interests in the region and damages USA-Turkey
and USA-Azerbaijan strategic partnership, will be turned down by the
Congress. We hope that US government, which has an image of the
democratic country, will do the utmost not to admit passage, which is
able to harm to American-Turkish and American-Azerbaijan relations».
