Милли [Ванилли] :lol: Меджлис осудил предварительное решение парламента Канады о признании геноцида армян в Османской империи.

Hа пленарном заседании Милли Меджлиса депутаты выразили обеспокоенность решением парламента Канады о признании геноцида армян. Было отмечено, что Азербайджан стремится к развитию отношений с Канадой, и для этого уже предприняты определенные шаги. Несмотря на то, что правительство Канады ответило тем же, сделанный парламентом этой страны шаг остается непонятным. Председатель Милли Меджлиса АР Муртуз Алескеров заявил, что подобный шаг парламента Канады недопустим. Он поручил главе азербайджанской делегации в Совете Европы провести в Страсбурге переговоры с канадскими депутатами. Председатель парламента сообщил, что обратится с письмом к своему канадскому коллеге.

Напомним, что на днях парламент Канады принял решение об обсуждении вопроса о геноциде армян в Османской империи.

Commons votes 153-68 to recognize Armenian genocide as "crime against humanity"

OTTAWA (CP) - Canada became one of few countries to formally recognize the genocide of Armenian Turks during the First World War in a strongly worded motion adopted 153-68 in the House of Commons on Wednesday.

Government members were discouraged from voting for the motion, which is sure to anger a Turkish government that has never recognized the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians starting in 1915.

Following a charged debate at their weekly closed-door caucus meeting, Liberal backbenchers voted massively in favour while the party's cabinet contingent rejected the Bloc Quebecois motion.

Prime Minister Paul Martin was absent during the politically sensitive vote but Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham defended the government's opposition.

The Turkish government has warned that recognizing the genocide could have economic consequences and Graham said he wanted to maintain good relations with Turkey.

"Turkey is an important NATO ally in a region where it is a Muslim country with a moderate government," he said.

"What we seek to do in our foreign policy is to encourage the forward dimension, we're forward-looking. We'd like our Armenian friends and our Turkish friends to work together to put these issues in the past."

The motion read: "That this House acknowledges the Armenian genocide of 1915 and condemns this act as a crime against humanity."

The Turkish government rejects the charge of genocide as unfounded and says that while 600,000 Armenians died, 2.5 million Muslims perished in a period of civil unrest.

Unlike the Liberal government most opposition MPs - including Conservative Leader Stephen Harper - voted in favour of the motion, which places Canada in a category of only about two dozen countries to have recognized the Armenian genocide.

The United Nations has also recognized the massacre, and Armenians have been fighting for decades throughout the world for that sort of acknowledgment.

One opposition critic labelled the prime minister "hypocritical" for promising more free votes and then forcing ministers to toe the line on such a matter of deep personal conscience.

"It's a terrible double standard for Paul Martin to force his ministers to vote against it and not even show up himself," Day said.

"That is a hypocritical double standard."

Liberal Hedy Fry supported the motion but said it's important to note the atrocities were carried out under the Ottoman empire, which has faded into history and was long ago replaced by a modern Turkish state.

"I think we need to recognize the past," she said.

"I think it doesn't mean we've broken ties with the current regime in Turkey. They are our colleagues, they are our NATO allies. They are a moderate, Muslim government and I think we need to work with them.

Recognizing what happened in the Ottoman empire shouldn't affect Canada's diplomatic relations with Turkey, she said.

Fry and many other former Liberal cabinet ministers who are now backbenchers also voted in favour, including Martin Cauchon, Stephane Dion, Maurizio Bevilacqua, Lyle Vanclief, Lawrence MacAulay, Herb Dhaliwal and David Kilgour.

Turkey protests Canadian legislators' recognition of Armenian genocide

Canadian Press

Thursday, April 22, 2004

ANKARA, Turkey (CP) - Turkey on Thursday condemned a decision by Canadian legislators to recognize as genocide the mass killing of Armenians during the First World War, accusing Canadian politicians of being "narrow minded."

Canada's Parliament on Wednesday backed a resolution condemning the actions of Ottoman Turkish forces eight decades ago.

Government members were discouraged from voting for the motion, which was adopted 153-68 in the House of Commons. Prime Minister Paul Martin was absent during the vote.

The motion read: "... this House acknowledges the Armenian genocide of 1915 and condemns this act as a crime against humanity."

In a written statement, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Turkey strongly condemned the Canadian Parliament's decision and accused Canadian legislators of blindly "following those with marginal views."

"Some narrow minded Canadian politicians were not able to understand that such decisions based on . . . prejudiced information, will awaken feelings of hatred among people of different (ethnic) roots and disturb social harmony," the statement said.

It said it was not up to parliaments to "reach conclusions over controversial periods in history" and insisted that the vote would not benefit Armenians in Canada or Armenia.

Canada is the 16th country to label the killings as genocide, a step already taken by Switzerland, France, Argentina and Russia, as well as 11 U.S. state governments.

Armenians say a 1915-1923 campaign to force them out of eastern Turkey amounted to a genocide and some 1.5 million people were killed.

The Turkish government rejects the charge of genocide as unfounded and says that while 600,000 Armenians died, 2.5 million Muslims perished in a period of civil unrest.

In 2001, Turkey cancelled millions of dollars worth of defence deals with French companies after legislators in France recognized the genocide.

The statement did not say if Turkey planned similar sanctions but said Canadian politicians would "bear the responsibility for any negative developments the decision will bring."

The Canadian vote split the ruling Liberal party between backbenchers and cabinet ministers. Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Bill Graham said the Turkish government had warned that recognizing the genocide could have economic consequences and that he wanted to maintain good relations with Turkey.

On Thursday, the Canadian Embassy released a statement in an attempt to distance the government from Wednesday's vote.

"Private member's motions are not binding on the government of Canada," the statement read.
