Elmar Mammadyarov Azerbaijani FM regrets decision of the International
Committee of Congress.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan regrets the decision of
the International Committee of the US Congress to adopt the resolution
on the so-called "genocide" of Armenians, said spokesman for the
Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan Elkhan Polukhov.
"In my opinion, some US congressmen are dealing with adoption of a
decision on unproven issue, instead of coming to grips with the issue
of the recent clear tragedy of the people of Azerbaijan. The Armenian
aggression against Azerbaijan, which led to ethnic cleansing,
occupation of 20% of the land and millions of refugees and internally
displaced persons, is obvious. All these facts are proved by
irrefutable evidences", said Polukhov.
According to him, if not stopped now, the process of recognition of
the "Armenian genocide" in the US Congress could harm efforts to
establish stability in our region and harm the negotiating process
leading to the settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over
Nagorno Karabakh.
"However, we still hope that the resolution adopted by the
International Committee of the US House of Representatives will not be
further supported at the level of the Congress", summarized Polukhov.
