"Armenia tries to accuse Turkey of the genocide which was not recognized by well-known historians of the world. The political aim of this accusation is evident from France Interior Minister's suggestions."
He said that France Parliament will not adopt the law if Turkey opens the borders with Armenia, restores diplomatic relations between the two countries and abolish Turkish Criminal Code article 301. "This problem concerns Azerbaijan, too. Armenians occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, but they want us to recognize the controversial historical event. France does not allow Turks to protest against its decision. It gives us a chance to appeal to European Court of Human Rights. We prepared application forms for this. Turkey should solve the problem legally. Azerbaijan and Turkey will have great chances to pressurize France and other western countries. Armenians occupied Azerbaijan’s territories, but the world community wants us to restore diplomatic and commercial relations with Armenia. They do not pay attention to UN decision making Armenia aggressor. Azerbaijan would have solved this problem if it were economically strong country. But now we should solve the problem legally," the University rector and famous lawyer Suheyl Batum told APA Turkey bureau exclusively.
