Istanbul. Mais Alizadeh –APA. “Such initiative is a great disrespect to the Turkish people. Apologizing to Armenians for 1915 events is the inviting Turkey to recognize this calumny.
Such campaigns aim to conceal Armenian occupation policy”, said deputy chairman of the Turkey’s Republican People’s Party (CHP) Onur Oymen reacting to the campaign started by a group of persons in Turkey for apologizing to Armenians, APA Turkish bureau reports.
Oymen said Armenia kept 20 percent of Azerbaijani lands under the occupation for more than 15 years. Oymen called the Khojali genocide committed by Armenians against Azerbaijani people in 1992 as a tragedy of the century.
“Do those, who proposed to apologize to Armenians for 1915 events which has no relation to the genocide, see occupation of 20 percent of Azerbaijani lands by Armenians and the genocide committed by them in Khojali?”
The member of the parliament from CHP said if Armenians saw one per cent of pressure, which Turkey faced to open borders with Armenia, they would be withdrawn from the Azerbaijani lands. “The world doesn’t put pressure on the Armenians. Despite numerous statements by the international organizations, the Armenians didn’t withdraw even from a village of Azerbaijan. Will those, who invited our community to apologize to Armenians, demand the Armenians to withdraw from Azerbaijani lands? Will they call on the Armenians to apologize to Azerbaijan for Khojali genocide? It is very interesting for me”.
