The so-called “Armenian genocide” is not your job, it is a historic issue

“They pressure on Turkey instead of Armenia today. US Congress Committee included the so-called “Armenian genocide” resolution into its agenda.

They discuss the so-called “genocide” issue in every April. They made 24 April a cash cow. I address the US Congress: This is not your job, this is a historic issue. Let the historians to address this problem”, said first vice speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament Ziyafat Asgarov in his statement. He said they were trying to blackmail Turkey in every April. “I would like to ask them: Why don’t you recognize Khojaly genocide? You know this tragedy happened before the world eyes. I believe that the US Congress will not address this issue”.

Asgarov said the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs should pressure on Armenia. “The problem entered into the last stage. Everyone knows that Armenian is not an independent country, but it is a province of Russia. We don’t want this issue to be prolonged. Otherwise the other way of solution is unavoidable”.

MP Zahid Oruj expressed concern over the Iranian officials’ statement about Karabakh problem. He said involvement of Iran in this problem could make it harder. “Let Iran to use Turkey’s experience and to close its borders. After that this country can say that it supports us”.

In response to Zahid Oruj, speaker of the parliament Oqtay Asadov said Iran had 600-km borders with Azerbaijan and it was not correct to reject their support as neighbor country. “If there is support, we have to use it”.
