The Azerbaijani Parliament should appeal the discussion of "Armenian
genocide" to the U.S. Congress, MP Ganira Pashayeva said.
"In our appeal we must specify that the claim of ‘Armenian genocide’
is false, and if supported, the congressmen will tolerate injustice
and also question the objective U.S. position on the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict," she said.
The U.S. Congress’s Foreign Relations Committee is expected to submit
the issue of the so-called "Armenian genocide" for voting in March.
The MP said that pressure associated with a false genocide is directed
not only against Turkey.
During their recent visit to the U.S., Azerbaijani MPs brought many
issues to the attention of relevant structures.
"I want to appeal to the Diaspora in the U.S., France and European
countries. Our compatriots united in the Diaspora should be active
in the community. They need to convey its position to the attention
of the Congress and to foreign parliamentarians," she added.
