Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 28 / Trend K.Zarbaliyeva /
The Azerbaijani Parliament should give a political assessment to the Sumgait events, said deputy executive secretary of the ruling Yeni Azerbaijan Party, ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) Deputy Executive Secretary, MP Mubariz Gurbanli said on Monday at a presentation of the www.sumqait.com website.
"I think that the next session of the Parliament will make a decision on this issue, which will be based on materials received by the investigation team," he added.
He said the Armenians use the Sumgait events to hide the crimes that they committed in the Khojaly town.
"Every year, Armenians increase the number of people died during the Sumgait events," he added.
MP Chingiz Ganizade also believes that it is necessary to give a political assessment to the Sumgait events.
Azerbaijanis were deported from Armenia even before the Sumgait events, Parliamentary Legal Policy and State Building Committee Head Ali Huseynov said.
"We could not raise the issue related to the deportation of Azerbaijanis from Armenia in international organizations. Committing the Sumgait events, the Armenians came into the limelight. For this reason, we could not raise the issue of deportation," Huseynov said.
