    Parties represented in Azerbaijani parliament approve appeal to U.S embassy

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 15 / Trend News A. Huseynbala /

    The parties represented in the Azerbaijani parliament approved the
    appeal to the U.S embassy in Azerbaijan as a sign of protest against
    the U.S Congress's decision to assist separatist regime of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh.

    The U.S Congress takes an action contradicting national interests of
    both countries, as well as strategic partnership, the message said.
    This decision serves only interests of Armenian nationalists, the
    letter said.

    Azerbaijani political figures said that this financial aid damages the
    United States' authority in the international community.

    Ruling party 'New Azerbaijan', pro-governmental parties - Social
    Welfare Party, Ana Veten, opposition parties - Musavat, Adalat,
    Azerbaijani United People's Front Party, Civil Solidarity party, Great
    Creation party, Umid, People's party, Democratic Reforms Party and
    Civil Unity party signed this appeal.

    The generalized bill on budget of the U.S state organizations for 2010
    fiscal year was approved at a joint conference with participation of
    the Senate and the House of Representatives of the U.S Congress on
    Dec. 8.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are
    currently holding the peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. General Assembly's
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the
    occupied territories.
