"US statements and actions in the wake of Russia’s invasion of a sovereign nation Georgia are not intended to threaten Russia", said US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Anne Derse, APA reports.

"Russian actions speak for themselves, and many in this region saw those actions as threatening not only Georgia, but the democratic aspirations of others", said the diplomat and added that sovereign nations like Georgia and Azerbaijan would chart their own course. "And as they do so, they can count on the support and cooperation of the United States. Vice President Cheney’s visit will underscore this support".
