Azerbaijani ruling party accuse France of disregard of human rights and freedoms
23 December 2011, 15:52 (GMT+04:00) Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 23 / Trend M.Aliyev /
France expressed disregard for human rights and freedoms by adopting
such a law (criminalizing denial of the so-called "Armenian
Genocide"), deputy Executive Secretary of the ruling New Azerbaijan
Party, MP Ali Ahmedov said at a meeting of Milli Majlis (Parliament)
on Friday.
Ahmedov estimated a decision of France's National Assembly as illegal
and unfair pressure under Turkey.
"I hope that Azerbaijani citizens will express their wrath in this
connection," he noted.
"France is the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair on Armenian-Azerbaijani
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. If Paris regards facts and events in such a
preconceived and biased way, involuntarily every Azerbaijani citizen,
including me, draw appropriate conclusions from that. In consists of
occurring serious doubts about relation of France's objectivity and
fairness as the co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group."
Ahmedov said it all, including adoption of that bill by the National
Assembly, once again should make Azerbaijani citizens think.
"We appreciate every step directed against fraternal Turkey as an
attempt against every Azerbaijani and Azerbaijan in whole," he added.
On Thursday, the French parliament adopted a bill criminalizing denial
of the so-called "Armenian Genocide".
Some 45 out of 577 French MPs participated in the voting, 38 of which
voted for, while 7 voted against the adoption of the bill.
The bill envisages about one year imprisonment and a fine worth 45,000
euros for denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide".
MPs from the French President's "Union for Popular Movement" (UMP)
party which has the parliamentary majority, proposed a bill which aims
at criminalizing denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide" to the
legislative committee of the National Assembly in early December.
Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that the predecessor of Turkey -
Ottoman Empire had committed the 1915 genocide against the Armenians
living in Anadolu, and achieved recognition of the "Armenian Genocide"
by the parliaments of some countries.
