Havva Mammadova The recently growing support to Armenia and recognition
of the so-called ‘Armenian genocide’ by a number of countries creates
concern.

According to MP Havva Mammadova, representative of the public
association of the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno Karabakh region
of Azerbaijan, the national assembly of Turkey must file a claim
to the international courts against the countries that recognize
‘Armenian genocide’.

According to the deputy, 44 US states and 24 countries that have
recognized the "Armenian genocide" must be invited to the Grand
National Assembly of Turkey and discuss this issue.

‘The representatives of mass media as well as structures engaged in
the analysis of the historical facts of these countries must hold
a poll. They should be asked whether they have studied the Turkish
archives and the reasons they have recognized the genocide.

If they pay so much attention to the event that occurred a century
ago, why do they not express a just attitude to the Khojaly tragedy
which occurred in the late 20th century? Why do they not voice their
attitude to the events in Khojaly’, the website of the ruling New
Azerbaijan party quotes the deputy as saying.
