On April 24, 2021, a telephone conversation took place between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, APA reports citing the press service of MFA.

Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said that the attempts of the leaders of some countries to politicize the events of 1915 were unacceptable and stressed that the statement of the US President on the Armenian remembrance day was a distortion of historical facts.

The Turkish counterpart was informed that, while the events of a century ago were misrepresented, the still unfair assessment of the genocide committed by Armenia against Azerbaijanis in Khojaly 30 years ago is an example of bias and double standards.

The Ministers stressed that the falsification of history and its use for political purposes is unacceptable.
