Strasbourg. Fuad Gulubeyli-APA. MP Ganira Pashayeva, member of
Azerbaijani delegation, having speech at the plenary meeting of the
PACE winter session touched the French Parliament's bill criminalizing
denial of so-called "Armenian genocide."
"Such steps are against values and principles of the Council of
Europe and Assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of studying history,
human freedom, values and principles like human rights. Let's think
about possible consequences of such decisions. If the parliaments
and senates of the member states of the Council of Europe start to
study the history of other states for their own favors, if they
adopt such decisions based on not historical facts but political
interests, then imagine what can happen in Europe. As you know,
Prime Minister of Turkey Rajab Tayyip Erdogan and Turkish state
officials repeatedly addressed to Armenian authorities and noted:
"We agree open all the archives. Open your archives. Let's open all
the archives in the world on this issue. Let historians of Turkey and
Armenia as well as all the interested sides study the issue and we are
ready to accept the results of the studies. But Armenian authority
didn't accept objective historical studies. As they know very well,
there was not such genocide. Around half million people of Turkish
origin live in France.
It means that imprisonment waits for all of them after this bill.
Then, what will happen human freedom, freedom of speech?"
MP also spoke about France's participation at the OSCE Minsk Group on
the regulation of Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh conflict. "As
a co-chair France should be neutral, objective and unbiased. But
such decisions put neutrality, objectiveness and unbiased attitude of
France under big question and affects heavily mediator role. I invite
all my French counterparts to think all much more all these issues,"
said Ganira Pashayeva
