Ziyafet Asgarov
The resolution on the recognition of the so-called “Armenian genocide” in the Osman empire adopted by the Swedish parliament is upsetting, said first vice speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament Ziyafet Asgarov.
“We condemn this decision of the Swedish parliament and naturally, we cannot accept it”, Asgarov told local ANS TV channel.
He considers that this decision adopted by the Swedish parliament is based on double standards in international policy. “As is known, the Azerbaijani parliament has repeatedly appealed to the parliaments of the world countries and informed them that this Armenian ‘genocide’ is mythical. Unfortunately, double standards are still applied and the parliaments of the world countries take such decisions without getting any objective information and studying historical facts”, the first vice speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament noted.
“We call on the deputies of the world parliaments not to take such decisions without studying the truth”, he said.
