‘I assess the recognition of the 1915 events as genocide in the
Swedish parliament as an illogical fact’, said Turkish MP Algan
Hajaloglu.

Deputy of the Grant National Assembly of the Republican People’s Party
and former state minister said political games against Turkey started
in the world after the issue on "Armenian genocide" was put on the
agenda: ‘The decision taken by the Swedish parliament was one of such
games’.

The deputy said that during his visit to Azerbaijan in 1992 he saw the
implications of the Khojaly tragedy with his own eyes.

‘Despite pressure, Turkey will continue its policy in the region being
aware of its responsibility in the Caucasus. Turkey respects the
rights of all peoples of the world. We consider that history must be
studied by historians rather than politicians. History cannot be
judged’.
