of refugees and IDPs. Noting economical backwardness of Armenia,
Khalafov said that the unreadiness of Armenian political leadership

as a main obstacle to the establishment of peace and stability in the
region, said that the results of the aggression were not accepted by
the world community.
Californian senators noted that Azerbaijan had a strategic significance
and highly assessed its role in the region. Noting that they were
deeply impressed by rapid development of Azerbaijan, the Californian
senators took interest in Azerbaijan's future role in the region.
