Pashazade, in turn, asked the opinion Zuckerman on  the "Armenian genocide". Zuckerman said the genocide in 1915 took place, but this does not apply to the events in Nagorno-Karabakh.

"We can be friends with both Azerbaijanis and Armenians,"  he said.

Pashazade, in turn, said that the recognition of the genocide in 1915,  and keeping  silence about the genocide against the Azerbaijanis of Nagorno-Karabakh is hypocrisy. -05C04-
