About the incident A. Suleimanov said the following: “During the discussion of the recognition in the Parliament the genocide toward Cherkez people, which happened 150 years ago, the representative of the opposition party Jondo Bagaturia got up and put forward the proposal of recognition of the made-up “Armenian genocide”. At that moment, I told him harsh words and enforced him to sit down on his place. As a result, the parliament stopped its activity for short time.
After the tension abating the session restarted and Jondo Bagaturia repeatedly asked a word. I saw that my words did not affect him. I appealed to him directly, and asked him “are you Georgian or Armenian?” More than 50 mass media representatives were observing the session. I asked him a question; there are 3 Armenian MPs, why don’t they raise this issue? So, the Armenian blood flows in your veins, or the Armenians gave you money.
The Azerbaijani and pro-government MPs supported me. In order not strain the situation Baqaturia was removed from the hall. I was not given a word as well”.
