The Azerbaijani diaspora in Ukraine has protested the possible erection
of a monument in Kiev to commemorate the so-called "Armenian Genocide,"
Congress of Ukrainian Azerbaijanis Chairman Akif Gulmammadov said.

Gulmammadov said the congress sent an appeal to the Ukrainian
president, parliamentary speaker and foreign minister, referring to
the falsification of historical facts by Armenians.

"We sent a letter of protest to the Kiev Prosecutor’s Office and hope
we can prevent this injustice," he said.

Armenia claims that the Ottoman Empire committed "genocide" against
Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. Making greater efforts to promote
the issue internationally, Armenians have achieved its recognition
by parliaments in some countries.
