Baku/23.04.21/Turan: “Everyone knows Azerbaijan’s firm and unequivocal position on the far-fetched the “Armenian genocide”. If such a step is taken by the new US administration, it will be a historic mistake", stated Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan for Foreign Policy Hikmet Hajiyev, commenting on media reports about President Joe Biden's plans to recognize the "Armenian genocide"
“Azerbaijan has always opposed attempts to recognize the so-called Armenian genocide. Confession is a falsification of history. History should be studied by historians. If this happens, Azerbaijan will resolutely condemn it,” Hajiyev said.
President Ilham Aliyev has repeatedly stated that a step taken against Turkey is a step against Azerbaijan, and any step against Azerbaijan is a step against Turkey, Hajiyev recalled.
“We would like to hope that the US administration will not make a historic mistake,” he summed up. -06D-
