A working group on Azerbaijan has been officially registered in the US
Congress. The co-chairmen of the group are Republican Congressman Curt
Weldon from Pennsylvania and Democrat Congressman Solomon Otis from
Texas, Azerbaijani Defence Minister Safar Abiyev, who is on a visit to
the USA, and co-chairman Curt Weldon have said.
According to them, the newly-established group will promote
Azerbaijan's interests in Congress.
It must be remembered that the two congressmen led a delegation of US
congressmen who visited Azerbaijan in August 2003. Although the
composition of the working group has not been disclosed yet, 20 or 30
members of the House of Representatives and Senate are expected to
join it. To recap, among the post-Soviet countries, only working
groups on Ukraine and Armenia have been operating in the US Congress
so far, according to Azartac news agency.
