Head of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Armenian National
Assembly Artak Zakaryan sent a letter to his Czech counterpart over
the pro-Azerbaijani resolution passed by the Czech Parliament
committee. Zakaryan told media, Friday, that the Czech Parliament
Committee for Foreign Relations, Defense and Security passed a
resolution condemning 'ethnic purges' in Khojaly assessing those
incidents as 'genocide.' The Czech Foreign Ministry has already
disseminated a statement saying that it bears no relation to the draft
resolution.
"My letter was replied positively, and the Czech Parliament is ready
to study the issue also from Armenia's viewpoint. This will make it
possible for us to present the true facts of what happened in
Khojaly," he said.
Zakaryan called inadmissible Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian propaganda in
foreign parliaments. He recalled that the incident that happened on
February 26 in the National Assembly of France when the Azeri
delegation disrupted a commemoration event marking the 25th
anniversary of the Sumgait Massacres taking place inside the French
Parliament. The event was organized by Hay Dat office in France. The
Azeris refused to stand in observance of a moment of silence for the
victims. One of the Azeris shouted that he would only stand to
commemorate "the victims of Khojaly." The state aroused discontent of
the Armenian delegates and and a brawl ensued before audience members
broke it up and police cordoned off the room. Immediately after the
incident, the Azerbaijani ambassador to France arrived in the
parliament and condemned the incident.
"In the countries where Baku fails to disseminate misinformation,
Azeris behave in such way. It is natural that Hay Dat Office filed a
lawsuit against the Azerbaijanis that provoked the incident," Zakaryan
said. The politician expressed concern that the countries that fell
under influence of Azerbaijan may grow in number. Consequently,
Armenia's diplomatic efforts must be aimed to prevent any attempts of
anti- Armenian propaganda, he said.
