Onur Oymen: "Armenians bring up false genocide to cover up Khojali genocide"

05 October 2006 [18:32] - TODAY.AZ
French parliamentarians prepared a bill which envisages five-year sentence and financial penalty of 45000 euros for denial of so called Armenian genocide.

"A group of Turkish parliamentarians went to France to prevent this process. We met with French parliamentarians and some journalists and said that they should pay attention to the crimes committed by Armenians," CHP deputy chief Onur Oyman told the APA Turkey bureau exclusively.

Turkish parliamentarian said only historians can assess the historical events happened 90 years ago. "Armenians occupied Azerbaijan territories, committed genocide in Khojali. World community forgets about this and pays attention to the events happened 90 years ago. Armenians bring up the false genocide to cover up Khojali genocide. Parliamentarians cannot assess historical events," he said.

The parliamentarian also said that everything will be clear after 12 October voting. "France will meet with the serious reaction of Turkey if its Parliament adopts the bill. There are 70 000 unregistered Armenians in Turkey. They will suffer most from this decision. We fight against Armenians' injustice and want Azerbaijanis to do the same. I highly appreciate the merger of Azerbaijani and Turkish Diaspora Organizations," he said.
