Azerbaijani parliament does not believe in US Congress’s adoption of bill

There are enough friends of Azerbaijan in the US Congress, Ogtay Asadov, the speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament, said.

“One can hardly expect them to approve the recently submitted anti-Azerbaijani project,” he said.

"Some journalists try to inflate it, however, it is not worth doing this," Asadov said at a plenary session of the parliament Dec. 18.

The US Helsinki Commission, under the chairmanship of Congressman Chris Smith, has recently submitted an anti-Azerbaijani bill to the Congress.

“Earlier, Smith was a member of the Democratic Party, then - a member of the Republican Party,” he said. “At present, he is a member of the Armenian diaspora and works for this diaspora.”
