Ali Hasanov: Azerbaijan will always support Turkey in fight against so-called Armenian genocide

Azerbaijan will always support Turkey in the fight against the so-called Armenian genocide, Head of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration's Social and Political Department Ali Hasanov told Turkish TV channel TRT Haber today.

"Azerbaijani people consider Turkey as the second motherland," Hasanov said. "Turkey's problems are ours and its joy is our joy."

"The real genocide was committed by Armenians in Khojaly," Hasanov said. "That real genocide was a massacre of over 613 civilians in Khojaly during a night just because they were Turkic people."

Speaking about the events of 1915, Hasanov said that one cannot be responsible for the fact which did not occur.

"In reality, the events of 1915 were a betrayal and brutality committed by Armenians against Turks," Hasanov noted.

Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey's predecessor the Ottoman Empire, committed genocide in 1915 against Armenians living in Anadolu.

Their efforts have achieved the recognition of the "Armenian Genocide" by the parliaments of several countries.
