Elbrus  Seyfullaev \u2013 APA. Azerbaijani Parliament has released the full text of appeal to  US Congress. According to APA, the passage of the draft resolution on the  so-called Armenian genocide in the House Committee of Foreign Affairs has caused  great concern and rage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis unfair judgment, which is apparent neglect  to the historical realities and sacrifice the interests for the Armenian lobby,  can be characterized as a step that could create new problems in Asia Minor and  Southern Caucasus. We face with an attempt to turn remote historical event,  which up to present has not been completely investigated and has not been  objectively appraised, into a subject of the political gamble to justify  groundless claims of the Armenian nationalists to the neighboring states. The  researchers, who remain loyal to the scientific truth, including western  scientists, have proved a long ago the nonexistence of any \u00abgenocide of  Armenians\u00bb in the history. Fiction about \u00abgenocide of Armenians\u00bb &#8211; is the  outcome of sick imagination based on false documents. The Turkish government has  opened the Ottoman Empire-related archives and has invited all researchers,  including the Armenian scientist, to get acquainted with the historical  documents of the beginning of the XX century. Besides it, Turkish government  suggests to establish the joint commission of historians, but the Armenian side  rejects judicious scientific polemic thereby the Armenian side openly shows the  real face of those who disseminate a legend about \u00abgenocide of  Armenians\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>The appeal also says that turning down this proposal by  Armenian nationalists shows that they are not interested in unveiling the  historical truth, and, on the contrary, they are interested in falsification and  concealment of the facts: \u00abThe objective researches show that early in the XX  century the Armenian nationalists unleashed a terror and perpetrate genocide in  territory of modern Turkish Republic and Caucasus, as a result more than 2  million innocent Turks and Azerbaijanis were killed. Over the past 18 years  Azerbaijani parliament repeatedly appealed to the international organizations  and to the parliaments of the world, including US Congress, concerning the  crimes like genocide, which Armenian nationalists committed to Azerbaijanis last  century, particularly for recognition the genocide committed on February 26,  1992, against the civilians of Azerbaijan city Hojali. Unfortunately, so far USA  has not appraised these terrible events, which occurred in the face of all  civilized world\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abA deliberate pro-armenian position is an apparent  evidence of the fact that Armenian nationalists\u2019 far-fetched claims on the  &#8220;genocide&#8221; of the beginning of the XX century are accepted but the occupational  war against Azerbaijanis is neglected. In such conditions Armenian Republic  declares that it\u2019s supporter of establishment of the stability and mutual  understanding in the region but in reality, it keeps on holding under occupation  20% of Azerbaijan\u2019s lands and having sentenced one million of Azerbaijanis to  the life of refugees and IDPs, Armenia continues gross violation the norms and  principles of the international law. There is thought, which got implanted into  Azerbaijani society \u2013 \u201cthe biggest hindrance for settlement of the  Armenian-Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is application of double  standards by world powers, the invader is not named as invader and left  unpunished, moreover the occupant is equated to the victim\u201d. Unfair judgment  made in the committee House of Representatives of US Congress, the country which  is the co-chair of OSCE Minsk group, engaged in conflict solution, hinders to  the attainment of peace in the region and can destroy the positive results,  reached till now in the course of negotiations. However, we are sure that this  decision, which contradicts US interests in the region and damages USA-Turkey  and USA-Azerbaijan strategic partnership, will be turned down by the Congress.  We hope that US government, which has an image of the democratic country, will  do the utmost not to admit passage, which is able to harm to American-Turkish  and American-Azerbaijan relations\u00bb.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full text of Azerbaijani Parliament\u2019s appeal to US Congress [\u00a006 Mar 2010 00:50\u00a0]\u00a0 Baku.
