Azerbaijan Condemns Israel's Recognition of Armenian Genocide

The Azerbaijani government sharply criticized Israel's recent decision to officially recognize the 1915 events as the Armenian genocide. In an official statement released on Sunday, Azerbaijan accused Israel of distorting historical facts and warned that the move politicizes complex historical processes without legal or scientific basis. The statement emphasized that such actions risk exacerbating regional tensions and undermining ongoing efforts toward peace and reconciliation.

Azerbaijan's government further urged Israel to reconsider its decision, stressing that it remains committed to defending what it calls the historical truth and upholding international legal principles. Officials in Baku expressed concern that the recognition could deepen existing disputes and hinder the prospects for a stable and lasting peace in the region.
