'The US can and should play a positive role in resolving the conflict,
and I plan to support federal funds that will advance the pursuit
of peace'.
The statement came from US Congressman James P. Moran from Virginia,
in his letter to the Azerbaijanis Diaspora members.
The Congress member said he appreciates the Diaspora's concern to
cut America's financial "spending in this challenging economic period".
"I am very much in support of a peaceful resolution to the conflict
between Armenia, Azerbaijan and resolution of the dispute over
Nagorno-Karabakh", added Congressman Moran.
According to him, although the current fiscal crisis is severe,
the US shouldn't predicate "foreign assistance decisions on budget
considerations alone" and reduce aid for those in need.
Congressman also pledged, he will keep in mind Azerbaijani Diaspora's
concerns as the debates over the foreign financial aid will go on in
the Congress.
Azerbaijani Diaspora is asking the Congress to consider helping
peaceful countries like Azerbaijan and avoid financing separatist
regimes as the one that is set now in Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenian
Diaspora in its turn demands US $50m for Armenia and US$10m for
Nagorno-Karabakh for 2012, according to ANCA.
