Azerbaijan’s presidential administration comments on recognition of so-called “Armenian genocide” in US Congressional Committee.
The Azerbaijani presidential administration has condemned yesterday’s decision of the committee on foreign affairs of the US Congress about the fictional “Armenian genocide”.
Ali Hasanov, chief of the public policy department of Azerbaijan’s Presidential Administration, said that this step is mistaken and unfair:
'All countries and peoples that participated in the First World War in 1915 suffered losses at one of the fronts. Some of them had greater losses, others had smaller losses. It is not for the Congress of the country which claims for the status of superpowers but for independent historians to decide about the implications of war for each country.
The Azerbaijani government condemns this step by the US Congressmen featuring it as one-sided, unjust and pro-Armenian, targeting the Turkic world. We consider that this step does not meet the interests of the United States and the US people and it will damage the international image of this country'.
Hasanov voiced hope that this decision of the committee will receive the relevant assessment in the Congressional House of Representatives and will return back, while the responsibility for this will be lifted from the US government.
