Turkey seeks to make the U.S. to refuse to recognize the “Armenian genocide”, member of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis (Parliament) Nizami Jafarov said, being asked whether Turkey will actively oppose adoption of the “Armenian genocide" by the U.S. or abstain from real action and take steps only after the bill is discussed in the parliament.
"Turkey is already actively confronting recognition of the “Armenian genocide” by the U.S. Turkish Prime Minister and other officials have repeatedly warned of consequences that may emerge once the U.S. passes such a bill,” the MP said.
”I have no doubt that Turkey's actions would have an impact on the U.S. Thus, Ankara will not only achieve its goal with regard to the so-called "genocide", but also break the stereotype that it is impossible to put pressure on the U.S.”
Responding to a question about what sanctions Armenia may expect from Turkey in event the U.S. passes the “Armenian genocide" bill, Jafarov said that "Ankara’s sanctions against Yerevan can get it to forget about policy of reincarnation of its sick fantasies for some time. In this case Turkey’s anger may warn of forces abroad from cooperation with the Armenian Diaspora and leave it without support. Active steps by Ankara will leave the Armenian Diaspora without levers to influence processes for a while," Jafarov said.
