    UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENT REFUSES TO DISCUSS SO-CALLED "ARMENIAN GENOCIDE" BILL

    APA, Azerbaijan
    July 30 2013

    Human Rights and Interethnic Relations Committee of the Parliament
    considered discussion of the bill unacceptable

    Kiev. Mubariz Aslanov - APA. Human Rights and Interethnic Relations
    of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has put up for discussion the draft
    law on the recognition of the so-called "Armenian genocide" submitted
    to the parliament. Member of Committee, Deputy of Verkhovna Rada
    Mustafa Jamil told APA that discussion of the bill in the parliament
    was considered unacceptable in the discussions and sent back from
    the committee.

    Jamil said it was noted at the discussion that adoption of such
    a document by the Ukrainian parliament contradicts the reality:
    "Before such documents are adopted, historians should study them and
    pass joint decision. At the same time, adoption of such a document can
    undermine the friendship among the nations. Therefore, the committee
    refused the bill".

    In this regard, an official message signed by a group of deputies of
    Verkhovna Rada was sent to the Ukrainian Azerbaijanis Congress. The
    message says the bill was sent back and there is no need for any
    dissatisfaction of Azerbaijanis, other Turkic speaking peoples living
    in Ukraine.

    The draft resolution was initiated by MPs Arsen Avakov (Yulia
    Tymoshenko's Batkivshchyna (Fatherland) party) and Vilen Shatvoryan
    (the ruling Party of Regions) and registered at the secretariat.

    The draft law notes that the Verkhovna Rada recognizes the mass
    killing of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in 1915-1922 as genocide
    of the Armenian people and April 24 as a remembrance day of the
    genocide victims.

    After registration of the bill, UAC, Ukrainian Azerbaijanis Youth
    Union and other Turkic-speaking organizations sent letter of protest
    to the Verkhovna Rada and President of the country and noted that mass
    protests will be held in the country if the bill is adopted. Deputy
    of the Rada, leader of Crimean Tatar People M. Jamil stated that in
    case of the adoption, he would leave the Batkivshchyna (Fatherland)
    party and Crimean tatars will hold mass protests.
