Azerbaijani Ambassador to U.S. protests event on self-proclaimed "NKR"

Azerbaijan Ambassador to the U.S. Yashar Aliyev voiced a protest against the event associated with the self-proclaimed separatist regime of "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic", a representative of Azerbaijani Embassy in Washington said.

Protesting against the event, hosted September 13 in Washington by the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues in cooperation with the Armenian Embassy and a number of Armenian-American organizations, Yashar Aliyev sent a letter on September 11 to all 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The letter lists the facts of Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan, occupation of Azerbaijani territories, forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis as a result of this occupation, as well as the establishment by Armenia of an illegal regime in the occupied Azerbaijani territories that is not recognized by any country in the world.

At the same time, the letter notes that the event organizers aimed to divert the attention of members of Congress and the American public from the fact of the continuing occupation of Azerbaijani territories, and thereby to consolidate the results of the occupation.

In view of this, the ambassador urged lawmakers not to participate in the event, intended against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, which is a strategic partner of the United States.
