Baku condemns US Congress vote

The Azerbaijani presidential administration has strongly condemned the March 4 resolution of the US Congress’ Foreign Affairs Committee on the alleged "Armenian genocide", Azerbaijan’s state-run AzerTAj news agency reported on Friday.
Ali Hasanov, the head of the Presidential Administration socio-political department, told journalists that US congressmen’s decision was "really wrong and unjust".
"Events which occurred in 1915 in one of the fronts during WWI saw all nations and states involved sustain losses to a certain extent," Hasanov said. "It is up to independent historians and researchers, and not the congress of a country aspiring to be a world power, to evaluate losses of the countries involved in those events."
"The government of Azerbaijan unambiguously condemns the decision of US congressmen, and regards it biased, unjust, pro-Armenian and anti-Turkish. We think that this decision definitely does not conform to the interests of the United States and the American people, and that it will seriously damage the country’s international image."
Hasanov also expressed belief that the committee’s decision would receive its due evaluation at the US House of Representatives and will be remanded.*
