Jonathan Henick: "We are negotiating with Azerbaijan on rescheduling the security talks"

23 April 2007 [12:30] - TODAY.AZ
"The United States reaffirms its support for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, restates that Nagorno Karabakh and surrounding territories are Azerbaijani territories," the US Embassy public affairs officer Jonathan Henick stated.

He did not agree to the claims on uncertainty of the statement in the 2006 State Department Country Reports on Human Rights Practices saying Nagorno Karabakh is Azerbaijani territory.

"This report is not dedicated to a territorial integrity, conflict or Nagorno Karabakh but to the current situation of human rights," he said.

Commenting on the postponing of the security talks between Azerbaijan and the US, Jonathan Henick said they are negotiating with official Baku regarding this issue, APA reports.

"We are negotiating with Azerbaijan on rescheduling the talks. The talks have not been rejected, they have only been postponed," the Embassy officer said.
