In his speech, MP of Milli Majlis, Ali Huseynli mentioned Chanakkala battle as one of the most important events of World War 1:  “In such a historical condition the only way for Osmanli empire was to show resistance and fight. The most prominent persons of Turkey – Anvar Pasha, Jamal Pasha and others fought in those battles. Azerbaijanis also helped their Turkish brothers. Some were joining the war, others were supporting with provision of oil and food. As a result, the Turks were those who triumphed and Tsar regime collapsed, since Antanta could not help to Tsar Russia. Later on, Turks lent their hand during genocide committed in Baku”. 



MP of the Parliament also suggested to investigate the events related to genocide of Circassians in May – anniversary of their genocide, since “Circassians is the common name for Caucasians”.
