Spokesman for Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry: "One can not expect
the person, whose political career depends on the Armenian Diaspora,
to make a different statement"
Baku. Malahat Najafova - APA. US Congressman Adam Schiff has called
on the US to cut security assistance to Azerbaijan, the Armenian
National Committee of America (ANCA) issued a press release about it,
APA reports. The statement made by Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA),
a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, was related
with the pardon and promotion of Ramil Safarov.
"Plainly the investment we have made in training Azeri forces has
been worse than wasted. Azerbaijan must pay a high price for its
actions. Baku treasures the security assistance that it receives from
Washington, not because it needs the money (it does not), but because
it signifies a certain closeness in the bilateral relationship. By
cutting off military aid to Azerbaijan, the United States would signal
its disgust with the Safarov affair, while also reminding Aliyev that
the United States will not tolerate any acts of aggression against
Armenia or Nagorno-Karabakh," pro-Armenian Congressman said.
Pro-Armenian Congressman Adam Schiff is also one of the authors of the
"Armenian genocide" bill.
Spokesman for Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry Elman Abdullayev told
APA that Adam Schiff is one of the congressmen under the influence
of the Armenian Diaspora.
"One can not expect the person, whose political career depends on
the Armenian Diaspora, to make a different statement," he said.
