    FINANCIAL AID TO KARABAKH TO DAMAGE AZERBAIJANI-U.S. RELATIONS - BAKU

    The U.S. Congress' decision to provide financial support to the
    unrecognized Karabakh republic will have a negative effect on
    Azerbaijani-U.S. relations, Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister Khafiz
    Pashayev said on Monday.

    "Obviously, that would have a negative effect on our relations. We
    always strongly condemn congressional decisions of the sort," he said.

    Baku tries to prevent similar actions every year, Pashayev said.

    "We try to explain that such steps are at least harmful for the
    bilateral relations and the national interests of the United States,"
    he noted.

    Congress has approved the allocation of $8 million to Karabakh.

    Baku lost control of Karabakh and seven adjoining regions in an
    armed conflict with Yerevan in the 1990s. One million Azeris became
    refugees and displaced persons. The UN Security Council condemned
    the occupation of Azerbaijani lands and demanded the Armenian pullout.

    The world is mediating the settlement process. The OSCE Minsk Group
    co-chaired by the United States, Russia and France is the mediator.
