Turkey and Azerbaijan will express their protest to the US Congress.
Deputy Executive Secretary of the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP), MP Mubariz Gurbanly, commented on the impact of the adoption of resolution number 252 in the US Congressional committee.
'This resolution is directly contrary to the interests of not only Turkey but also Azerbaijan and generally runs counter to the universal values of the world. The United States should think that a handful of bribed congressmen makes decisions that are contrary to the American national interests. This is a disgrace to American values and democratic political system. In fact, the US Congress on behalf of the United States supported and cheered aggressor Armenia, thus inflicting a blow to the image of United States and the image of the UN.
UN, in which the United States play a dominant role, has again completely discredited itself as an international arbiter, able to comply with the resolutions adopted in the Security Council and the General Assembly. Once it became clear that the UN is turning into useless and inefficient organization which immediately fulfills resolutions only of the superpowers, for example in terms of deployment of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq', said M. Gurbanly.
'Considering this, Turkey and Azerbaijan will express their protest to the US Congress and urge US leaders to take an objective position on the events of a hundred years ago in the Ottoman Empire. Also, Turkey and Azerbaijan on the level of the Organization of Islamic Conference and other international organizations will encourage to support us and direct appeals to US congressmen to express their position on the Khojaly genocide committed by Armenians in the eyes of the international community 18 years ago', said the deputy chairman of the New Azerbaijan Party.
'Obama’s administration is playing a double game, since 18 of 23 congressmen who voted for the resolution on ‘genocide’ of Armenians are members of the ruling Democratic Party of the United States. Nevertheless, President Obama understands the possible damage to the US politics, and I think resolution number 252 will not go beyond the House of Representatives. I would like to repeat that the adoption of the resolution on "genocide" of Armenians in the political game with Turkey is the "golden" bullet for the United States, which can be used only once', Mubariz Gurbanly concluded.
