'I assess the recognition of the 1915 events as genocide in the Swedish parliament as an illogical fact', said Turkish MP Algan Hajaloglu.

Deputy of the Grant National Assembly of the Republican People's Party and former state minister said political games against Turkey started in the world after the issue on "Armenian genocide" was put on the agenda: 'The decision taken by the Swedish parliament was one of such games'.

The deputy said that during his visit to Azerbaijan in 1992 he saw the implications of the Khojaly tragedy with his own eyes.

'Despite pressure, Turkey will continue its policy in the region being aware of its responsibility in the Caucasus. Turkey respects the rights of all peoples of the world. We consider that history must be studied by historians rather than politicians. History cannot be judged'.
