838) There Has Never & Could Not Been Any Genocide Of Armenians -Aliyev

Armenia is educating its young generation in the spirit of enmity, says Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan, in an interview with the Cumhuriyet.

He says Armenians make claims to Turkey "basing on lie, slander, they try to achieve recognition of the invented 'genocide' by Europe. It testifies that Armenians have taken a bellicose position. First of all, there has been no genocide. It was they who were killing Turks, Azerbaijanis for all times." He brings the example of European states that had repeatedly fought against each other, but established relations later. . . .

Repeating the confirmation by the newspaper's correspondent that "Armenians live in the past" Aliyev added "that is why they cannot develop" (hereby he confirmed the existence of this past -ed. ). As regards the possible recognition of Armenian Genocide by the international community, Ilham Aliyev urged his Turkish comrades to fight against it like they do in Azerbaijan. "It is necessary to expose the Armenian false propaganda and inform the international community of the reality," he said.
