Hasankuliyev, one of the leaders of the People's Front
opposition party of Azerbaijan, submitted a bill to the
country's parliament demanding that a monument to one of the
chief organizers of the Armenian Genocide, Enver-pasha be
erected in Baku square.

parliamentary deputy "motivated" his proposal saying that it was
Enver-pasha who saved the Azeri people "from the genocide
committed by the Armenians". The Azerbaijani parliamentarian
demanded that the country's government remove the monuments to
Lenin and other Soviet leaders in Baku and erect a monument to
Dede Korkut in their place.

submitted the proposals for discussion to the respective
parliamentary commission.
