YEREVAN (Tert.am) – The recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the US Congress will be beneficial for Turkey, said Azerbaijani MP Gudrat Hasanguliev in an interview with Day.az.

“The US Congress always blackmails Ankara for the Armenian Genocide. In that way, they want to take Turkey’s foreign policy under control. Naturally, it is not excluded that the Congress may pass such a resolution, but that is less likely as it would put an end to the Turkish-American strategic cooperation,” Hasanguliev said.

“I think Turkey will be released from Washington’s blackmails and will be able to pursue a freer foreign policy, should the Congress recognize the Genocide,” Hasanguliev said.
