Azerbaijan, Baku, April 5 / Trend, E. Mehdiyev /
Azerbaijani MP accused cinematographer Rustam Ibrahimbeyov of not knowing history.
"There is no difference between Rustam Ibrahimbeyov and Akram Aylisli," Azerbaijani MP Nizami Jafarov told Trend today. "Ibrahimbeyov's statements have at least two flaws. First, he does not know the history of his people."
Jafarov was commenting Ibrahimbeyov's interview with Rosbalt News Agency.
He added that a person considering himself as an intellectual, must be aware of the world history and the history of his people.
"Second, without knowing the history, he expresses his opinion, pursuing a certain goal," he said. "There is nothing worse than to sell the history of his people and their territory for the sake of self-interest."
"This is a great sin," he said.
Rosbalt news agency published Rustam Ibrahimbeyov's interview, in which he said he regretted the collapse of the Soviet Union and that the Armenians are the victims of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
