DESPITE MILLIONS SPENT ON LOBBYISTS AZERBAIJAN DOESN'T GET ANY POSITIVE STATEMENT FROM USA

For years Azerbaijani authorities spend millions on normalizing
relations with Washington; yet they don’t get any positive
statement from the “cradle of democracy” in response,
Azerbaijani information portal "Minval.az” reads.
The article points out that the tension between the Azerbaijani
authorities and the USA isn’t confined with the problems between
the countries, but also comprises the authority itself.
According to the information provided by the newspaper “Yeni
Musavat,” the large number of tough statements made recently by
the US, including the extreme toughness of the annual report of the US
Department of State, has greatly enraged the Azerbaijani authorities.
For many years the authorities spend millions of dollars with the
help of several individuals to maintain informal relations with
the USA. All these means are spent under the guise of cooperation
with the senators, congressmen and high officials from various US
government institutions for the sake of supporting the authorities in
Azerbaijan. “Huge sums of money have been spent on this. There
is not a single text supporting the authorities by the US. Instead of
that there are tough statements, protests and claims, and this comes
despite the fact that Minister Ziya Mammadov’s clan, which
is responsible for the lobbying activities in the US, is urgently
demanding a statement of support,” “Minval.az” notes.
As the article has it, the embassy of Azerbaijan to the USA, the leader
of the Azerbaijan-America Alliance Anar Mammadov, leading figures in
the field of foreign policy, MPs Samed Seidov, Elkhan Suleimanov and
the chairman of one of the oppositionary political parties in the
Parliament were toughly condemned. The reason is that chiefly these
very people were assuring in their reports that all the nesessary work
regarding the US was being carried out and the corrsponding circles
were neutralised, with all the American protests being supposed to
be countered from America itself.
“For many years it was preferred to regulate those relations on
an informal level. Yet it’s clear today that the authorities
don’t get a real support from the US even in the informal
relations. Even the circles presented to the authorities as
their supporters, turned their face from them without any real
backing,” the article states, adding that after a serious
discussion of the matter it was decided to punish those lying to the
authorities about the support from the US.
According to the information “Minval.az” got from the
governmental sources, those responsible for the current situation will
be seriously punished. They will not only be removed from carrying
out that work in the future, but also deprived of the internal levers
of influence. “To put it figuratively, an American wind is
currently blowing inside the authorities and it will carry away some
prominent people,” the author concludes.
