    Full text of Azerbaijani Parliament's appeal to US Congress

    [ 06 Mar 2010 00:50 ]


    Baku. Elbrus Seyfullaev ` APA. Azerbaijani Parliament has released the
    full text of appeal to US Congress. According to APA, the passage of
    the draft resolution on the so-called Armenian genocide in the House
    Committee of Foreign Affairs has caused great concern and rage.

    `This unfair judgment, which is apparent neglect to the historical
    realities and sacrifice the interests for the Armenian lobby, can be
    characterized as a step that could create new problems in Asia Minor
    and Southern Caucasus. We face with an attempt to turn remote
    historical event, which up to present has not been completely
    investigated and has not been objectively appraised, into a subject of
    the political gamble to justify groundless claims of the Armenian
    nationalists to the neighboring states. The researchers, who remain
    loyal to the scientific truth, including western scientists, have
    proved a long ago the nonexistence of any «genocide of Armenians» in
    the history. Fiction about «genocide of Armenians» - is the outcome of
    sick imagination based on false documents. The Turkish government has
    opened the Ottoman Empire-related archives and has invited all
    researchers, including the Armenian scientist, to get acquainted with
    the historical documents of the beginning of the XX century. Besides
    it, Turkish government suggests to establish the joint commission of
    historians, but the Armenian side rejects judicious scientific polemic
    thereby the Armenian side openly shows the real face of those who
    disseminate a legend about «genocide of Armenians».

    The appeal also says that turning down this proposal by Armenian
    nationalists shows that they are not interested in unveiling the
    historical truth, and, on the contrary, they are interested in
    falsification and concealment of the facts: «The objective researches
    show that early in the XX century the Armenian nationalists unleashed
    a terror and perpetrate genocide in territory of modern Turkish
    Republic and Caucasus, as a result more than 2 million innocent Turks
    and Azerbaijanis were killed. Over the past 18 years Azerbaijani
    parliament repeatedly appealed to the international organizations and
    to the parliaments of the world, including US Congress, concerning the
    crimes like genocide, which Armenian nationalists committed to
    Azerbaijanis last century, particularly for recognition the genocide
    committed on February 26, 1992, against the civilians of Azerbaijan
    city Hojali. Unfortunately, so far USA has not appraised these
    terrible events, which occurred in the face of all civilized world».

    «A deliberate pro-armenian position is an apparent evidence of the
    fact that Armenian nationalists' far-fetched claims on the "genocide"
    of the beginning of the XX century are accepted but the occupational
    war against Azerbaijanis is neglected. In such conditions Armenian
    Republic declares that it's supporter of establishment of the
    stability and mutual understanding in the region but in reality, it
    keeps on holding under occupation 20% of Azerbaijan's lands and having
    sentenced one million of Azerbaijanis to the life of refugees and
    IDPs, Armenia continues gross violation the norms and principles of
    the international law. There is thought, which got implanted into
    Azerbaijani society ` `the biggest hindrance for settlement of the
    Armenian-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is application of
    double standards by world powers, the invader is not named as invader
    and left unpunished, moreover the occupant is equated to the victim'.
    Unfair judgment made in the committee House of Representatives of US
    Congress, the country which is the co-chair of OSCE Minsk group,
    engaged in conflict solution, hinders to the attainment of peace in
    the region and can destroy the positive results, reached till now in
    the course of negotiations. However, we are sure that this decision,
    which contradicts US interests in the region and damages USA-Turkey
    and USA-Azerbaijan strategic partnership, will be turned down by the
    Congress. We hope that US government, which has an image of the
    democratic country, will do the utmost not to admit passage, which is
    able to harm to American-Turkish and American-Azerbaijan relations».
