Azerbaijani Parliament adopted an appeal to the U.S. Congress in connection with approval of Genocide Resolution by House Committee on Foreign Affairs. According to Trend News, appeal was drafted by working group headed by Samad Seyidov –chairman of the Milli Majlis standing committee on international relations and inter-parliamentary relations.

In the declaration of protest, Azerbaijani MPs express regret about Genocide Resolution passing.

“In fact Armenian Genocide is figment of sick imagination. Armenian nationalists are not interested in studying of documents on 1915 events, as they take interest in spreading false rumors instead of revealing historical record. Armenians exterminated over 2 million Azerbaijanians and Turks,” the document reads. Azerbaijani MPs are also confident that resolution wil be rejected by the U.S. Congress.

March 4, U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs approved Armenian Resolution by a vote of 23 to 22.

In response, Turkey recalled its Ambassador Namik Tan from U.S. for consultations.
