Turkey seeks to make the U.S. to refuse to recognize the "Armenian
genocide", member of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis (Parliament) Nizami
Jafarov said, being asked whether Turkey will actively oppose adoption
of the "Armenian genocide" by the U.S. or abstain from real action
and take steps only after the bill is discussed in the parliament.

"Turkey is already actively confronting recognition of the "Armenian
genocide" by the U.S. Turkish Prime Minister and other officials have
repeatedly warned of consequences that may emerge once the U.S. passes
such a bill," the MP said.

"I have no doubt that Turkey’s actions would have an impact on the
U.S. Thus, Ankara will not only achieve its goal with regard to
the so-called "genocide", but also break the stereotype that it is
impossible to put pressure on the U.S."

Responding to a question about what sanctions Armenia may expect
from Turkey in event the U.S. passes the "Armenian genocide" bill,
Jafarov said that "Ankara’s sanctions against Yerevan can get it
to forget about policy of reincarnation of its sick fantasies for
some time. In this case Turkey’s anger may warn of forces abroad
from cooperation with the Armenian Diaspora and leave it without
support. Active steps by Ankara will leave the Armenian Diaspora
without levers to influence processes for a while," Jafarov said.
