Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry: “Attempts to falsify and rewrite story is unacceptable”

The distortion of historical facts in the statement of US President Joe Bayiden on the events of 1915 causes regret, refers to the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan.

“Those who politicizes the so-called” Armenian Genocide “are silent about the massacres of more than 500 thousand people by Armenian armed groups at that time, as well as the massacres committed by Armenian Dashnaki in March 1918 in Baku and other regions of Azerbaijan.

While the events of 100 years ago are presented in a distorted form, the inability to give a fair assessment of the genocide, perfect Armenia against Azerbaijanis in Khojaly 30 years ago, is an example of bias and double standards.

The events of 1915 should be investigated not by politicians, but historians. However, as you know, Armenia, who wants to hide what happened and is trying to portray himself an oppressed country, did not adopt the proposal of Turkey to investigate the events of that period by creating a joint historical commission. Attempts to falsify and rewrite history, and also to use it for political pressure is unacceptable, “the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says.

Note that Earlier, President Joseph Biden used the word “genocide” in his statement in connection with the events of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire.

Recall that Armenia and the Armenian lobby say that the predecessor of Turkey is the Ottoman Empire – allegedly performed in 1915 “Genocide” in relation to the Armenians living in Anatolia.
