Milli Majlis, the parliament of Azerbaijan, addressed the French Senate in protest against the decision on made-up “Armenian genocide”. The text of letter was read by MP Sahiba Gafarova.
The letter reads that Azerbaijani parliament is very concerned about the decision of the French parliament. “We call you to carefully approach the remote historic events, Undoubtedly if this draft law is adopted it will damage the basic principles of the democratic system – human rights and freedoms. On February 26, 1992, Armenian armed forces killed hundreds of peaceful Azerbaijanis in Khojaly with cruelty. If all of these are taken into consideration, the attempts to asses the historic events unilaterally can lead to disrespect to the historic realities”.
It was emphasized in the letter that the adoption of such law will cast doubt on objectivity of the French co-chairmanship in the OSCE Minsk Group. “Milli Majlis of Azerbaijan calls the colleagues at the French Senate to be attentive and sensitive during the discussions of this issue and not to adopt the law”.
The letter was approved by the parliament.
