Deputy Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Eduard Sharmazanov has brushed aside fresh accusations against Yerevan made in Turkey where Armenia is seen as occupying Azeri lands. The most recent statement to that effect was made by Cemil Cicek, the speaker of the Turkish Parliament, during a meeting with Chairman of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Riccardo Migliori. In his reaction to the statement, Sharmazanov said: “It seems that Turkish and Azerbaijani officials have started a competition of absurd statements. The statement by the Turkish parliament speaker is evidence that the country remains faithful to its policy of lies and falsehood.” “Refreshing the memory of the Turkish official, I would like to underline that Turkey has committed genocide against Christian nations, Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians. Turkey is the one that occupied the northern part of now EU member Cyprus, where murderer [of an Armenian officer at NATO-sponsored courses in Hungary] Ramil Safarov underwent military trainings. With the help of official Ankara Azerbaijan was able to occupy some NKR territories. The conclusion is that sometime it is more beneficial to keep silence not to appear in a ridiculous situation,” emphasized the Armenian official. http://armenianow.com/news/41277/armenia_azerbaijan_turkey_sharmazanov
