Baku. Elbrus Seyfullayev ` APA. `We condemn the passage of the
so-called Armenian genocide resolution that has no evidences.

This is the distortion of historical truth and violation of the
principle of justice,’ deputy chairman of YAP, MP Ali Ahmadov told
journalists while commenting on the passage of the draft resolution on
the so-called Armenian genocide in the House Committee of Foreign
Affairs, APA reports.

Ali Ahmadov said the unfair decision caused protest in YAP.
`We have already sent a letter of protest to the House of
Representatives. The letter writes that the decision is unfair. We
have stated openly that this decision is against the interests of
Turkey and Azerbaijan,’ he said.

According to the parliamentarian, the decision that aims to exert
pressure for opening Turkey-Armenia borders is against the soonest
solution to Nagorno Karabakh problem.

Parliamentarians representing various parties have decided to hold a
meeting tomorrow on the passage of the so-called Armenian genocide
resolution in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
