  • BAKU: Azerbaijan withdraws U.S. from Minsk Group on Armenia-Azerbaij

    AZERBAIJAN WITHDRAWS U.S. FROM MINSK GROUP ON ARMENIA-AZERBAIJANI CONFLICT AND CEASES ENERGY CO-OPERATION

    Azerbaijan Business Center
    April 16 2010

    The latent conflict between the Barak Obama Administration and
    Azerbaijan started acquiring tangible outlines.

    Ali Hasanov, the head of the Socio-Political Department of the
    Azerbaijan Presidential Administration, stated today that Azerbaijani
    authorities and the public had started taking adequate moves and were
    seeking alternate ways linked with the Garabagh problem settlement.

    "Already now there formed public opinion against United States'
    participation in the OSCE Minsk Group on Nagorno Garabagh conflict
    as it has given nothing to Azerbaijan," he said.

    In his opinion, the U.S' ambiguous role on Garabagh can also have
    impact on US-Azerbaijani energy co-operation.

    "The U.S., being a peacemaker in Garabagh, should pursue more careful
    policy. And the moves taken lately in the U.S. concern the Azerbaijani
    public," Hasanov stressed.

    Nevertheless, Azerbaijan considers the U.S. its strategic partner and
    became one of the first Moslem states that entered in the coalition
    led by America, despite it was regarded ambiguously by the Moslem
    community.

    "Azerbaijan has always been a reliable energy partner of the U.S. and
    that is why U.S' current attempts to tackle Armenia's economic
    problems unilaterally in damage to Garabagh conflict settlement cause
    perplexity in Azerbaijan. At the same time no grave attempts are taken
    on Garabagh conflict settlement. WE don't see these attempts. Instead
    to make Armenia to decline from occupation policy the U.S. tries to
    withdraw Armenia form economic crisis. That is why nobody should be
    blamed for anti-American statements and first of all against the U.S.

    Congress and American circles making decisions under pressure of the
    Armenian lobby," Hasanov said.
