    TrendNews E. Babayev/ The ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP)
    believes that there is a need to set up an Azerbaijani-Turkish
    commission to study historical facts. "We see a need to establish
    this commission. "This commission should be set up to study claims
    about the so-called 'Armenian genocide'," Ali Ahmadov, the deputy
    chairman and executive secretary of NAP said to media on 18 June.

    Armenians has recently intensified propaganda on the so-called
    'Armenian genocide' and parliaments of several countries have
    recognized it. Armenian historians claim that Armenians were subject
    to the massacre by the Turkish army in 1915.

    According to Ahmadov, Armenians have committed genocide against
    Turks and Azerbaijanis from time to time. The genocide in various
    regions of Azerbaijan in 1918 can serve as an example. The place,
    where people were buried in large numbers that were revealed in
    Guba region of Azerbaijan, is a vivid example of the brutality
    against Azerbaijanis by the Armenians. "The study of these facts and
    revealing historical facts can be carried out by the joint work of the
    Azerbaijani and Turkish experts and the experts from other countries
    as well," Ahmadov said. If Turkey takes some measures to set up this
    commission, Azerbaijan is ready to join it, he said.

    NAP was established by the chairman of the Supreme Majlis of Nakhchivan
    Heydar Aliyev in 1992. The current President Ilham Aliyev is the
    chairman of the Party, which has been ruling for already 14 years.
