Security-related cooperation between Azerbaijan and US will depend on Karabakh conflict settlement - Mammadyarov

27 April 2007 [08:50] - TODAY.AZ
Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov regarded the changes to initial 2006 State Department Country Reports on Human Rights Practices "completely inadmissible fact." He said making any changes to already published reports is a bad precedent.

"If the US government takes this step today, what can it do tomorrow? I mean the possible precedent," the minister said.

Noting that bilateral security talks between Azerbaijan and the US will be restored, Elmar Mammadyarov said such talks should not be carried out due to the changes to the first variant of the State Department country report.

"Security-related cooperation between Azerbaijan and the United States will first of all depend on the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. We must be sure of the position of the US before starting bilateral security talks," he said. APA
