American Israel Public Affairs Committee discussed the relations with Azerbaijan
Washington. N. Kazimova - APA. `I call on the members of the American
Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to address the congressmen
representing their states and not to fall under the influence of
pro-Armenian lobby groups,' said Azerbaijan's ambassador to the US
Elin Suleymanov addressing the AIPAC annual meeting, APA's Washington
correspondent reports.
`Azerbaijan fulfils commitments undertaken in the relations with
Israel. We would like the AIPAC members representing Israel's
interests in the US and the politicians, who are close to us, not to
demonstrate pro-Armenian or anti-Azerbaijani positions.'
As an example, the ambassador noted the attempts made by congressman
Berman, who is supported by AIPAC members, to prevent the delivery of
naval equipments produced by the US to Azerbaijan. Though, Azerbaijan
has no sea border with Armenia, congressman Berman claims that
Azerbaijan can use the above-mentioned equipments against Armenia. He
also mentioned that due to attempts of senator Menendez the US failed
to appoint ambassador to Azerbaijan for year and a half.
Charles Perkins supported this call and noted that it is important to
mention these issues at the meetings with US Congressmen.
