Azerbaijan community of Nagorno Karabakh urges US State Department

25 April 2007 [09:06] - TODAY.AZ
Azerbaijani community of Nagorno Karabakh Public Union's chief Nizami Bahmanov sent a protest letter to Anne Derse, US Ambassador to Azerbaijan on the changes to the initial 2006 State Department Country Reports on Human Rights Practices.

Public Union told APA that the fact of changes to the paper is nothing but indifference to the violation of rights of 700 thousand IDPs and especially of 62 thousand population of occupied Nagorno Karabakh.

"It is not understandable how the country aspiring to keep peace world-wide and defend human rights is influenced by Armenian organizations which have links with terrorists. This amendment on the report overshadows the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and we appreciate it as support for Nagorno Karabakh separatist regime," the letter reads.

Azerbaijan community of Karabakh demanded US as one of the co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group to hold fair position and republish the report in the initial edition.
