/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Within a month or two the Canadian Parliament
should reply to the Azerbaijanis’ appeal on putting the question of
the `Khojaly genocide’ for the discussion, head of Oyanish
(Awakening) Center for Strategic Researches, Canadian of Azeri origin
Aslan Halidi stated. In his words, earlier the Azerbaijanis of Canada
requested German, French and Israeli communities of the country for
support in submitting the question of the `Khojaly genocide’ for the
discussion of the formal circles of Ottawa, including the Canadian
parliament. Presently only the German and Israeli communities
answered to the appeal and addressed the Canadian parliament on this
issue. `At the moment the issue is being examined. Canada has an
authority among the international community both from economic and
political viewpoints. There are many ethnic groups here, which are
treated in the same way. We hope that the official circles in Ottawa
will be sincere on realities in Azerbaijan’, Halidi said. He also
noted that other national minorities of Canada are well informed of
the `acts of Armenians against the Azeris and sharply condemn them’.
