Today, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reacted to US President Joe Biden’s phrase "Armenian genocide" in relation to the 1915 tragic events in the Ottoman Empire promoted by Armenian nationalists. Azerbaijani diplomats expressed regret for the distortion of historical facts admitted by the American leader.
"Those who politicize the so-called ”Armenian genocide "are silent about the mass killings of more than 500,000 people by Armenian armed formations during that period, as well as about the mass killings committed by Armenian Dashnaks in March 1918 in Baku and other regions of Azerbaijan," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan said.
