This is the distortion of historical truth and violation of the principle of justice,â€ deputy chairman of YAP, MP Ali Ahmadov told journalists while commenting on the passage of the draft resolution on the so-called Armenian genocide in the House Committee of Foreign Affairs, APA reports.

Ali Ahmadov said the unfair decision caused protest in YAP.
â€œWe have already sent a letter of protest to the House of Representatives. The letter writes that the decision is unfair. We have stated openly that this decision is against the interests of Turkey and Azerbaijan,â€ he said.

According to the parliamentarian, the decision that aims to exert pressure for opening Turkey-Armenia borders is against the soonest solution to Nagorno Karabakh problem.

Parliamentarians representing various parties have decided to hold a meeting tomorrow on the passage of the so-called Armenian genocide resolution in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
