Azerbaijani Parliament appeals protesting passage of so-called Armenian genocide resolution at US Congress

Chairman of the working group established at the parliament on this issue, Chairman of the Parliament’s Commission on Foreign Affairs Samad Seyidov presented the appeal. It was noted in the appeal that the passage of such resolution is unjust. It will negatively influence on Asia Minor and South Caucasus. The occupation fact of Azerbaijani lands by Armenians was also noted and said it is a work of history to research the issue about genocides: “We want to hope that such state as US - having democratic image will not pass such resolution which may negatively influence on US-Turkey and US-Azerbaijan relations”.

Speaker of the Parliament Ogtay Asadov offered to put the appeal into voting. The appeal was passed by 108 votes.

Note that President of the Haydar Aliyev Foundation, MP Mehriban Aliyeva attended the second part of the meeting.
