Azerbaijani expert: U.S. to respond to Azerbaijan's note of protest by
Ronald Reagan's speech
19 December 2009 [11:39] - Today.Az
Azerbaijani political expert Rasim Agayev says U.S. financial aid to
breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh testifies to inconsistent policy by the
U.S.
`The U.S. aid to the self-declared entity in Azerbaijan's territory
points to ambiguity, inconsistency and contradiction of U.S. policy,'
the expert said.
`The U.S. describes moral and financial support to the separatist
Nagorno-Karabakh as granted not even considering it necessary to
defend itself on this occasion. I think it is wrong to assess this
support as a result of the Armenian Diaspora efforts. In fact, this is
U.S. policy of double standards "carrot and stick". This is pure
official U.S. policy without a lobby impact,' the expert noted.
`Such an attitude towards Azerbaijan which is a major transport and
resource hub in the region is testimony to a very inconsistent policy.
Washington's support for separatist Nagorno-Karabakh makes me think
that the U.S. seeks to weaken Azerbaijan in order to continue to use
the country's resources at its discretion,' Agayev said.
`With regard to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's note of protest, I
think that it will not significantly impact U.S. Congress decision to
allocate aid to the separatists. In response, Washington could always
say that funds allocated to the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh will be
used for humanitarian purposes attaching Ronald Reagan's speech, as
well as amount of financial support provided to Azerbaijan to its
reply.'
`So, Washington will always find an answer to Azerbaijan's notes.
Maybe, pickets in front of their U.S. embassy in Baku can influence
Americans. Washington often responds to such more effective measures,'
the political expert added.
`The U.S. has assumed a right to determine destiny of other nations,
including support for separatism. In fact, it embodies "the arrogance
of power", he said.
