Baku, Fineko/abc.az. At the opening of the spring session Milli
Majlis has had a discussion on the adoption of the law by the French
Parliament criminalizing denial of the "genocide" of Armenians in
the Ottoman Empire in 1915-17.
In the course of the discussion, parliament's speaker Ogtay Asadov
said that although France had lost its moral right to participate in
the OSCE Minsk Group on settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict
over Nagorno Garabagh conflict, physically they would remain in the
Group, and we cannot still do anything.
"We must examine the legal side of this issue, but cannot do anything.
However, Azerbaijan will do everything necessary to protect the
interests of Turkey and Azerbaijan," the speaker stated.
The proposal to deprive France of participation in the Minsk Group
was made by MP Ganira Pashayeva, in case France still passes a law
criminalizing denial of the "genocide" of Armenians.
