Milli Majlis claims protest to US Congress for plans to recognize
Ottoman Empire’s genocide of Armenians in 1915-18
Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Today Milli Majlis (Azerbaijani parliament) has
passed a statement in connection with the decision of the US House of
Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs to raise the issue of
general voting for recognition of genocide of Armenians in the Ottoman
Empire in 1915-1918.
Samed Seyidov, the chairperson of the Milli Majlis Committee for
International & Inter-Parliamentary Relations, said that in accordance
with the statement the US House of Representatives’ decision on
recognition of so-called genocide of Armenians could cause damage to
attempts to restore peace and stability in the region.
`It can bring to nought all the attempts made earlier on settlement of
Nagorno Garabagh conflict,’ Seyidov cited the statement text.
Milli Majlis hopes that the US Congress will refuse from discussion of
this matter as western experts and researchers proved that there was
no genocide.
