Baku. Parvin Abbasov - APA. Armenian parliamentarian Aram Safaryan
asked Minister of Education of Azerbaijan Misir Mardanov a question
at the meeting of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly Committee on
Economic Integration, Legal Approximation and Convergence with EU
Policies: "Is it true that hostility and hatred against Armenians
are being promoted in your schools and textbooks. If there are such
issues we must settle them separately also together and in a different
format. We must settle it so that the future generations are mutually
respectable and tolerant. I consider that it will be a significant step
for the settlement of the conflict between our nations and states."
Mardanov said that it is impossible to settle these issues in such
events or in a short time: "The experts must investigate and settle
this issue. I can't say and it will not be true that we have friendly
relation to Armenia and Armenians. Just imagine, one family was
completely killed as a result of Karabakh conflict and only one member
is alive. How can this person be friendly with regard to Armenia and
Armenians? There is a great gap between our societies and this event
is the step for removal of this gap. I don't know what is written in
your books and you do not know what is written in our books. That's
why it is impossible to find an answer to this issue within a day or
single event. These issues demand very serious investigations between
the experts."
