Azerbaijan, Baku, April 24 / Trend M. Aliyev /

There were not such events as the "Armenian genocide" in history. It
has been made up by Armenian politicians, Azerbaijani Parliamentary
Deputy Speaker Bahar Muradova said.

"Azerbaijan reiterates that there was not such an event called
‘Armenian genocide’ in history. This is a strained problem of Armenian
politicians, and policy, organized by circles in the region, which
serve to the Armenians to realize their interests, and directed
against Turkey and Azerbaijan," Muradova told media.

Armenia and the Armenian lobby state that the predecessor of Turkey –
the Ottoman empire committed "genocide" against Armenians living in
Anatolia in 1915. Armenians willing to recognize this fact in the
world by strengthening propaganda of the so-called "genocide" in the
world countries, achieved its recognition by the parliaments of some
countries.

Muradova said that Azerbaijan was always and now close to Turkey in
organizing the struggle against that.

"Azerbaijani people, together with the Turkish ones and Azerbaijani
leadership and the Turkish one expressed the will to struggle
together. We have repeatedly demonstrated it on facts. Azerbaijan and
Turkey have proved by the example of their relationship that they were
together at all stages. Time has proved the positivity of joint
political experience. Azerbaijan and Turkey must be together, and
those willing to prevent this unity will face fiasco, like today, "
Muradova said.
