The draft resolution does not take into account the opposite side at all - millions of Azerbaijanis, their victims, feelings of pain, sadness and loss of loved ones. In this project, we are assigned only the role of the aggressor. Such a biased attitude, preference for one nation and discrimination against another is a manifestation of national intolerance, racism!”
