Baku: The recent decision by the Israeli government regarding the so-called 'Armenian genocide' has raised significant concerns, prompting an official response from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the Ministry highlighted the potential repercussions of such a decision, emphasizing that it distorts historical facts and reduces a complex historical issue to a political decision lacking a sound legal or scholarly basis.

The Ministry underscored that such actions do not foster reconciliation or mutual understanding. Instead, they exacerbate existing divisions and hinder efforts to secure lasting peace and stability in the region. The statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls upon the Israeli government to reconsider its decision, stressing the importance of historical accuracy and the principles of international law.

Azerbaijan remains steadfast in its commitment to uphold historical truth and promote enduring peace and stability in the region. The commentary from the Ministry reflects Azerbaijan's stance on the importance of addressing historical issues with care and accuracy, avoiding political actions that could undermine regional harmony.
