Azerbaijan protests against US aid to separatist regime of Nagorno-Karabakh
Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb.14
By Elchin Mehdiyev- Trend:
Azerbaijan considers the United States a strategic partner, supported
the country after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the
issues related to Afghanistan, as well as other issues, political
analyst Elman Nasirov said Feb.14.
He made the remarks in the Milli Majlis (Parliament) of Azerbaijan
during the hearings on the topic "Relations of Azerbaijan and the
United States in the context of human rights, energy and security
issues."
The political analyst went on to add that such actions should not be
one-sided. He said that the US is the only country that supports the
so-called Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
Nasirov said according to Armenian media, the US has allocated $2
billion to Armenia. Also, this country opened representative offices
of the separatist regime, he said.
If the US doesn't change its policy in this issue, the entire
responsibility for the consequences will fall on it, according to
Nasirov.
The MP Chingiz Ganizade said in turn that two hearings on Azerbaijan
during the month were held in the US, during which certain claims on
human rights issues in Azerbaijan were put forward.
In order to understand how objective these statements were, it is
necessary to pay attention to the composition of participants of the
hearings, according to him.
Representatives of the Armenian lobby, pro-Armenian forces, NGO
associated with the radical opposition of Azerbaijan participated in
these events, he said.
Ganizade said that since gaining its independence, Azerbaijan
highlighted the national interests, and in connection with this fact,
a number of states exert pressure on the country by the application of
double standards.
MP Asim Mollazade said at the hearings that the activity of the
Armenian Diaspora is also detrimental to the security of the United
States itself.
He said that the Armenian lobby stands behind the anti-Azerbaijani
policy in the US.
Also during his speech, the MP noted the importance of holding such
hearings, which is the result of parliamentary traditions development
in the country.
MP Fazail Agamaly said at the hearings that Azerbaijan continues to
follow the path of democracy being guided by international, European
values and human rights. This is the path followed by all progressive
mankind in recent years, he said, stressing that he considers position
of the US biased in this direction.
He urged the United States not to follow the interests of the
Armenians in its policy.
