Recognizing the so-called "Armenian genocide" by the Swedish Parliament is a historical mistake, Swedish MP from the Christian Democratic Party Desire Petrus said at a meeting with representatives of the Congress of Azerbaijanis in Sweden, the Congress said.

During the meeting, members of the congress informed Petrus about the realities of Karabakh. The answers to MP's all questions were justified by historical facts. She got copies of the UN resolutions on the unconditional liberation of Azerbaijani territories. It was reported about the genocide committed by Armenians in Khojaly and other occupied territories by demonstrating photos, video and written evidence.

She said that she was very saddened by these facts.

After the meeting, the books about Karabakh and Azerbaijan by famous foreign historian was presented to Swedish MP.

Armenia and the Armenian lobby claims that the predecessor of Turkey - Ottoman Empire - made "genocide" against Armenians living in Anatolia in 1915. Willing its recognition throughout the world, Armenians strengthened propaganda of "genocide" and achieved its recognition by the parliaments of several countries.
