Advocacy of friendly attitude toward Armenia and Armenians is
impossible in educational institutions and textbooks, Azerbaijani
Minister of Education Misir Mardanov said at a meeting of the Committee
on Social Affairs, Education, Culture and Civil Society of Euronest
PA during the second session of the organization, answering a question
of an Armenian MP.
“Imagine that as a result of the Karabakh conflict, the entire family
was killed except for one member. How can he be friendly towards
Armenia and the Armenians?” he said.
Mardanov said there is a huge chasm between the two societies.
“I do not know what is written in your books, as well as you do not
know what is written in our. So I do not think that it is possible to
find an answer to this question during a one day or within a single
event. These questions require serious research of professionals,”
added Mardanov.
A member of the Armenian delegation, Aram Safarian, addressed
Azerbaijani Minister of Education Misir Mardanov with question: Are
hostility, hatred of the Armenians promoted in Azerbaijani schools
and textbooks?
