MPs condemn anti-Turkish statements

MPs Mais Safarli (Yurddash Party), Asim Mollazadeh (PFPA) and Igbal Agazadeh (Civil Unity Party) – all members of the Democratic Bloc faction of the parliament – held a news briefing Tuesday in protest to Shamil Gurbanov's statement in the Milli Mejlis, in which the latter censured Turkish embassy in Azerbaijan for the note it had issued in the wake of the removal of a water spring in the Alley of Martyrs.
Opposition MPs described Gurbanov's statement as insulting for both countries and said some publications in state-run newspapers threaten with a strain in Azeri-Turkish relations. According to them, such articles are written on purpose.
The three MPs announced that such perilous utterances meet the interests neither of Azerbaijan nor of Turkey, which, for its part, has always been sympathetic to Azerbaijan's cause.*
