    Azerbaijani Parliament appealed to U.S. Congress

    18:24 / 03/05/2010Azerbaijani Parliament adopted an appeal to the U.S.
    Congress in connection with approval of Genocide Resolution by House
    Committee on Foreign Affairs. According to Trend News, appeal was
    drafted by working group headed by Samad Seyidov `chairman of the
    Milli Majlis standing committee on international relations and
    inter-parliamentary relations.

    In the declaration of protest, Azerbaijani MPs express regret about
    Genocide Resolution passing.

    `In fact Armenian Genocide is figment of sick imagination. Armenian
    nationalists are not interested in studying of documents on 1915
    events, as they take interest in spreading false rumors instead of
    revealing historical record. Armenians exterminated over 2 million
    Azerbaijanians and Turks,' the document reads. Azerbaijani MPs are
    also confident that resolution wil be rejected by the U.S. Congress.

    March 4, U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs approved Armenian
    Resolution by a vote of 23 to 22.

    In response, Turkey recalled its Ambassador Namik Tan from U.S. for
    consultations.
