    Azerbaijani Ambassador to U.S.: `Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains
    unresolved as Armenian leadership doesn't demonstrate political will'

    Baku- APA. `The Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan was an example to
    the first parliamentary republic in the east.

    This Republic allowed all citizens to enjoy equal rights regardless of
    their race, religion, nationality and what is more important gender,'
    Azerbaijani Ambassador to the United States Elin Suleymanov said
    delivering a speech "Azerbaijan's foreign policy" for the members of
    the American Foreign Service Association on, Azerbaijani Embassy in
    the U.S. told APA.

    Firstly giving information about the history of Azerbaijani statehood,
    the Ambassador stressed that the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan
    granted women's suffrage for the first time in the Muslim world, and
    before a number of European countries and the United States. The
    Ambassador said that Azerbaijan is converging religions and
    civilizations and he is proud of the ethnic and religious diversity of
    our country.

    Touching on Azerbaijan's energy diplomacy as a state with rich energy
    resources, he gave detailed information about the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan
    pipeline.

    Suleymanov said one of the main directions of Azerbaijani foreign
    policy is to ensure continuation of mutually beneficial relations with
    neighboring countries and spoke about the exemplary relations of
    Azerbaijan with Turkey and Georgia. Touching on Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict that impedes further development and integration of the
    region, the Ambassador said the conflict still remains unresolved, as
    Armenian leadership doesn't demonstrate political will. `Mostly the
    populace suffers from this non-constructive position of the
    government,' he said.

    Following this, he briefly spoke about the US-Azerbaijan bilateral
    relations and close cooperation between the countries in fighting
    against terrorism, ensuring energy security of Europe.
