Baku. Lachin Sultanova - APA. "If the members of the U.S. Congress
discuss the events that happened 100 years ago, then they should also
assess Khojaly genocide that was committed 20 years ago," Foreign
Minister Elmar Mammadyarov told journalists, APA reports.
Minister does not believe that the decision passed by the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs will cause peace and stability between
Azerbaijan and Armenia, or generally in the South Caucasus.
"Such decisions have negative influence on the settlement of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict. Occupation of 20 percent of the Azerbaijani
territories by Armenia, displacement of about one million people pose
great threat to the security in the region. Therefore, we consider
that if the Congress holds any discussions on the South Caucasus,
it should not be from historical aspect, but should be connected with
the present situation," he said.
