MM OF AZERBAIJAN PROTESTS PARLIAMENT OF CANADA
As was informed by AzerTAj, at the 20 April plenary sitting of the Milli Majlis, the MPs expressed concern on preliminary decision of the Canadian Parliament on recognition of the so-called “Armenian genocide”. It was noted that Azerbaijan is keen on development of relations with Canada and has made certain steps. Despite of corresponding actions by the government of Canadian, the mentioned act of this country’s parliament is incomprehensible
Chairman of the Milli Majlis of Azerbaijan Republic Murtuz Alaskarov stressed the inadmissibility of decision of the Parliament of Canada. He assigned the Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation at the Council of Europe to negotiate with the Canadian deputies. At his words, the Chairman is going to send an informatory message to his Canadian counterpart.
It has to be reminded that Parliament of Canada has adopted a resolution to discuss the question related to the notorious “Armenian genocide” shortly.
Parliamentary delegation of Canada has the observer status at the Council of Europe.
