Azerbaijani Parliament passes letter to French Senate
The Azerbaijani Parliament has passed a letter to the French Senate,
expressing fairness of France as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group
due to the recently passed bill on persecution of denial of the
Armenian Genocide, News Azerbaijan reports.
The bill was passed on December 22. Public denial of the Armenian
Genocide by the Ottoman Empire in 1915 is punished with 45,000 euro or
a sentence.
Azerbaijani MPs say that such bill violates European values. They also
pointed out that Armenian historians had refused to study the Genocide
together with Turkish specialists.
Armenians killed hundreds of thousands of Turks throughout history.
Armenians in Hojaly killed hundreds of Azerbaijanis in 1992 and there
was no international reaction, the letter says.
The Azerbaijani Parliament believes that passing of the bill casts
doubts on fairness of France as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group.
