Baku. Lachin Sultanova ` APA. `We certainly would not want this
discussion within the U.S. Congress to impact our relations with
Azerbaijan.
We are strategic partners, and there is much we are doing together
that benefits both nations,' in response to APA's questions about the
U.S. position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee vote, spokesman
for U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan Terry Davidson said.
`We are aware of Azerbaijan's concern about the debate over this
resolution in the U.S. Congress, and both President Obama and
Secretary Clinton have made clear their desire that the U.S. Congress
not be forum for debates about what happened in 1915. As they have
stated, we believe the people of Turkey and Armenia ` their societies,
their historians ` are the ones who should review this history and put
it into perspective. To that end, the United States has supported
efforts to bring about rapprochement between Turkey and Armenia, an
opening that would include the creation of an ongoing dialogue about
the tragic events of 1915. Secretary Clinton said last week that she
hopes the full Congress will not take further action on this
resolution, as we believe it to be unhelpful in the normalization of
relations between Turkey and Armenia. That normalization would help
bring long-term stability, peace and progress to the region,' Terry
Davidson said.
