    EVENT ON SELF-PROCLAIMED REPUBLIC'S ANNIVERSARY HELD IN US CONGRESS

    AzerNews, Azerbaijan
    Oct 6 2005

    An event dedicated to the 14th 'anniversary' of the self-proclaimed
    Upper Garabagh republic was held at the US House of Representatives
    building in Washington last Wednesday, Radio Liberty reported.

    Pro-Armenian Congressmen spoke at the meeting attended by Vice-speaker
    of the British House of Lords, Baroness Caroline Cox.

    Commenting on the matter, a source from the US embassy in Baku said
    that the United States supports Azerbaijan's territorial integrity
    and does not recognize the self-proclaimed republic.

    The Azeri Foreign Ministry said that the event does not reflect the
    official position of the USA. Deputy foreign minister Khalaf Khalafov
    said that the meeting took place in the Congress premises leased by
    pro-Armenian Congressmen. "However, the ministry negatively assesses
    the event and considers it an attempt of propaganda and assistance
    to separatism."
