Azerbaijani parliament expresses discontent with U.S. policy on Nagorno-Karabakh problem

A number of MPs from Azerbaijan's ruling party believe that protest should be expressed towards the policy U.S pursued in recent years on the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement.

"The current position of the U.S., as a co-chair country [the OSCE Minsk Group], which undertook the mission to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, does not correspond to the spirit of relations between this country and Azerbaijan," ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) Deputy Chairman and Executive Secretary Ali Ahmedov said today.

According to him, the U.S, as a co-chair country of the OSCE Minsk Group, provides economic support to Armenia to the detriment of Azerbaijan's interests.

"This doesn't correspond to the U.S. mission, which positions itself as herald of democracy in the world," Ahmedov said.

According to him, Azerbaijani Parliament should take a serious position on this issue. "The Azerbaijani public, in particular the political parties should express open protest to the U.S. policy," he said.

According to the Deputy Executive Secretary of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party Siyavush Novruzov, biased attitude of some states towards the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, is entirely directed against Azerbaijan. And some forces inside the country support such a policy of these states, he said.

"Considering all this, it is necessary to express a strong protest against the processes that run counter to Azerbaijan's interests," Novruzov said.
