Azerbaijan Condemns Israel's Recognition of Armenian Genocide as Historical Distortion

On Monday, Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs sharply criticized the Israeli government's decision to recognize the Armenian genocide. The ministry described the recognition as a "distortion of historical facts" and expressed serious concern over the move. In an official tweet on their X account, Azerbaijan urged Israel to reconsider its decision, stating that the recognition reduces a complex historical issue to a political decision without legal or scientific basis, which they find unacceptable.

Azerbaijan, which maintains friendly relations with Israel compared to Armenia, argued that this step does not contribute to reconciliation or mutual understanding. The ministry warned that such actions deepen existing disputes and harm efforts to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region. They reaffirmed Azerbaijan's commitment to preserving historical truth, respecting international law principles, and promoting sustainable peace and stability in the area.
