Azerbaijani parliament hits back at remarks by Armenian Speaker

Azerbaijani Milli Majlis (parliament) commented on the November 28, 2023, statement of Armenian Parliament Speaker Alen Simonyan.

The statement of the Azerbaijani parliament emphasizes that the Armenian Parliament Speaker Alen Simonyan on November 28, in his statement to journalists, once again, distorting the realities in the region, made statements far from the truth, Caliber.Az has learned from the Milli Majlis.

“This interview with the Armenian Speaker clearly indicates that the Armenian leadership adheres to the line of ‘absurd claims’ and also seeks to attract the attention of its foreign patrons. There is no other way to explain his latest statements.

Simonyan is trying to veil his desire to erase from memory the fact that the internationally recognized territories of Azerbaijan were occupied by Armenia for 30 years and, under the guise of looking at the future, to remove this black spot of Armenian history from the agenda of the international community.

It would be good if Simonyan apologized for the fact that more than 1 million Azerbaijanis became refugees and internally displaced persons as a result of the policy of ethnic cleansing of Armenia, for the Khojaly genocide and for the destruction of 9 cities and hundreds of villages during the occupation and began to talk about the future. Unfortunately, this won't happen.
