Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister and Rector of the Azerbaijan
Diplomatic Academy Hafiz Pashayev says the U.S. Congress decision to
allocate $8 million in aid to separatist regime of Nagorno-Karabakh is
negative step in terms of development of the Azerbaijan-U.S. relations.
"This move by the Congress may have a negative impact on the
Azerbaijan-U.S. relations," he told reporters on Jan 11.
"But we hope this will not happen."
The U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate approved a bill
on general appropriations for the 2010 fiscal year, under which
Nagorno-Karabakh separatists will receive $8 million in aid.
Azerbaijani Former Ambassador to the U.S Pashayev considers the
Congress's intervention in U.S. foreign policy as a move contrary to
Washington's interests.
According to him, the Congress took such actions due to the influence
of Armenian lobby in the United States.
The intervention of Congress in the U.S. foreign policy is evident
not only in regard to Azerbaijan, but also for other countries,
he said citing Middle East as another example.
