Azerbaijani MP: U.S. Congress' decision to have negative impact on relations between two countries

16 December 2009 [10:07] - TODAY.AZ
The U.S. Congress decision to assist Armenian community of Nagorno-Karabakh has a negative impact on relations between the U.S. and Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani MP said.
"The U.S. is co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group. Naturally, this decision of the Congress is a step that cast doubt on its ability to adhere to a fair and neutral position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement," MP Ganira Pashayeva said.

Pashayeva said after appeals made by the Azerbaijani parties represented in the Parliament and the Parliament itself, the U.S. government will attentively approach this issue and take steps to eliminate injustice and not implement the decision.

"But, I believe non-governmental organizations in Azerbaijan should also be active in this process. Our compatriots living in the United States must also be attentive to this issue. Because the Azerbaijanis living in the United States, as citizens of this country, should be very sensitive to this issue. They should send a letter of protest to the Congress and at the same send an appeal to the U.S. President and the White House to prevent this step," said Pashayeva.

She said Turks living in the United States must also be sensitive and attentive to this issue.

"All the Turkish diaspora organizations must make an appeal to the U.S. President to stop this step. Because this is a step that has a negative impact on the negotiation process to resolve the conflict. At the same time, this step causes great doubt over fair position of the United States in resolving the conflict," she said.
