“I think the note of protest the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has presented to the U.S. State Department is a positive step,” Azerbaijani member of parliament Fazil Mustafa said.
“The note was a necessary step as U.S. Congress decision to provide $8 million in financial aid to the break-away Nagorno-Karabakh contradicts principle of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity,” the MP said.
“I think the Azerbaijani society should also do everything possible to protest the U.S. Congress decision,” he said.
“I believe the note will not affect Azerbaijan-U.S. relations. But Azerbaijan did the right thing. We need to protect our rights,” Musatafa added.
“As to U.S. reaction to Azerbaijan’s note of protest, I think the U.S. realizes that it is a wrong step. The note of protest will give a positive result,” he noted.
