[translated from Azeri]
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has reacted to the critical reports
carried by some Turkish media that Azerbaijan holds a weak position
with regard to the law passed by the French Senate. It should be
recalled that some leading Turkish media outlets wrote that Azerbaijan
is not doing enough to protest against the French Senate's ["genocide"]
bill.
The head of the press service of the [Azerbaijani] Foreign Ministry,
Elman Abdullayev, has said that Azerbaijan expressed its protest
against the draft law when it was being discussed in the lower chamber
of the French Senate. Azerbaijan was the first state to express a
strict position with regard to the law , which prohibits the denial
of the so-called [Armenian] genocide, after it was adopted by the
French Senate, he said.
[Elman Abdullayev, spokesman for Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry]
I believe that the dissemination of these kinds of articles and
information in Turkish media are simply an attempt by some persons
to damage or cast a shadow on relations between the two fraternal
countries. Azerbaijan approaches problems concerning Turkey as its
own problems.
