Baku Calls on Turkey to Exile 70 Thousand Armenians

PanARMENIAN.Net - "Azerbaijan and Turkey should join against France over the adoption of the Armenian Genocide bill," said Azeri parliamentarian Ganira Pashayeva. "First, Turkey should recognize the genocide in Algeria perpetrated by France. Then Turkey should recognize the genocide committed by Armenians against Azeris in Khojaly. The economic relations with France should be reconsidered. This move by the French parliament can serve as an example for the other European states," she said. According to Pashayeva, all this will have a negative impact on Azerbaijan. "That is why we should at the level of Foreign Ministry and parliament protest against the adopted bill. Over 70 thousand Armenians illegally live and work in Turkey. The Turkish government should exile the illegal Armenian migrants and such decision will not conflict with the international law. If they speak of Genocide and take such moves against Turkey, so why have they chosen this country for living? Let them go to France or any other state that recognizes the Armenian Genocide," she said. As for France's being the co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, Pashayeva said, "I suppose we should think of this question, since France demonstrated its position having passed such a bill. The composition of the Minsk Group should be changed or the format be expanded," reports Day.az.
