Azerbaijanis protested against the draft resolution on recognition
of so-called "Armenian genocide"
The Azerbaijanis living in Ukraine gathered outside the Verkhovna Rada
and sent a message of protest to chairman of the parliament against
the draft resolution on the recognition of the so-called "Armenian
genocide". Chairman of the Congress of Ukrainian Azerbaijanis Rovshan
Tagiyev told APA that a statement of protest had been handed to the
parliament. The statement undersigned by the Congress of Ukrainian
Azerbaijanis, Ukrainian Azerbaijanis Youth Union and Azerbaijan Council
of Elders has been sent to Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
The message says that the registration of the draft resolution on the
so-called "Armenian genocide" by the Verkhovna Rada caused serious
concern of Turkish-speaking people, including Azerbaijanis in Ukraine:
"As we know, every year, Armenian organizations mark 1915 events as
"Armenian genocide" all over the world. The historians have held
discussions in this regard, but Armenians" claims have not been
proved."

than 130 ethnic groups live here and the discussion of such draft
resolutions requires an accurate approach.

the conflict among nations in Ukraine, this is inadmissible for
coexistence. The adoption of the draft resolution by the parliament
will undermine the relations of the Turkic-speaking nations, including
Azerbaijan and Turkey with Ukraine. The draft resolution will pose
a serious threat to the peace and security in Ukraine."

to prevent the discussion of the draft resolution.

have developed a draft resolution on "The recognition of Armenian
genocide" and had it registered at the secretariat of the parliament.
