Esmira Orujeva: "If we were Christians, the leading countries of the world would believe us rather than Armenians"

She said that in an attempt to mislead the society Armenians try to persuade the world that the so-called "genocide" was committed against them.

"In 1915-1918 2,200,000 Muslims were brutally killed in Turkey. 400,000 Azerbaijanis were killed in the territory of Azerbaijan in the said period and 120,000 in Iran", Orujeva noted.

She said that a number of leading countries of the world apply the policy of double standards regarding Turkey, using "the genocide of Armenians", as a means of political pressure on this country.

"Over 20,000 our compatriots were killed and 50,000 became disabled in the result of occupation policy, conducted by Armenians against Azerbaijanis. During the first Karabakh war 5,000 citizens of Azerbaijan were missing", said Orujeva.

She stressed need to continue arrangements, aimed at drawing attention of the world society to facts of genocide committed by Armenians against Azerbaijanis.

"If we were Christians, the leading countries would believe us rather than Armenians", Orujeva said.
