“Armenia raises false, imaginary, unreal and faked accusations against Turkey, and try the notorious “genocide” to be approved in Europe. That is, it shows that they are in a hostile position,” said President Ilham Aliyev in an interview to Turkey’s Cumhuriyet newspaper. The Head of State then stressed, “First, there was not any genocide. Instead, in all periods they have killed the Turks, Azerbaijanis, and massacred them. Secondly, let us have a look at the new history. There were countries that battled with each other for ten times, twenty times. The European countries. Have a look at the World War II. In this war, carried out by Germany, the Soviet Union, England, France and America, 30 million and may be more people were killed. Wars occurred in world, and earlier in Europe. But after 20 years, the Soviet Union and Western Germany established relations. And today they are allies, France and Germany play leading role in the European Union and all see their alliance. These nations, these countries have closed the history for future, for progress. But look at Armenia; they educate their youth in spirit of hostility.” Saying that Armenians they will demand compensation, raise territorial claim against Turkey after they achieve the recognition of “genocide”, the Head of State added, “Turkey and Azerbaijan should have stronger position. We should not defend, but on the contrary, we should attack from the point of view of policy and propaganda. Here, in Azerbaijan we set up the affairs in high level. It is necessary to unmask the Armenian propaganda, and smash up their false propaganda and bring to the notice of world community.” (AzerTag)
