05 February 2008 [15:09] - Today.Az
The number of US congressmen of the work group of the US Congress on Azerbaijan reached 31.
Day.Az reports with reference to the press service for the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan that Randy Koohl, representative of the Democratic Party and New-York Congressman, became the 31st participant of the work group.
It should be noted that R.Koohl is one of the congressmen who withdrew his signature from the resolution on the recognition of the so-called "genocide of Armenians".
The press service for Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry announced that the congressman appealed for participation in the work group after the co-chairmen of the work group on Azerbaijan, congressmen Solomon Grtis and Bill Schuster sent a letter to their colleagues.
In their appeal they stressed Azerbaijan's strategic importance, participation in combat with international terrorism, cooperation with the United States, role in supply of Caspian energy sources to the world markets and development of inter-parliamentary relations between the United States and Azerbaijan.
It should be reminded that the work group on Azerbaijan was officially registered in the US congress in 2004.
