Congressional letter, signed by 77 members has been sent to the
White House to call on George Bush to expand relations with Karabakh,
PanArmenian came to know from the NKR Representative Office in the U.S.
The letter claims the continuation of Azerbaijan's "destructive"
policy, which threatens peace and stability in the region and "goes
against U.S. interests".
The letter said in part: "The United States can and must expand its
engagement with the lawfully and democratically established Nagorno
Karabakh Republic. These ties should not be dictated by outside forces
but rather should be guided by the shared values of our two nations."
Taking a stance on the letter, Public Affairs Officer of the US embassy
in Azerbaijan, Jonathan Henick stressed that the Congress is another
part of the democratic system in the USA, APA reports.
"Congressmen often send such letters to the President. US president
determines foreign policy of the US. Official Washington doesn't
share the same opinion with the letter authors."
