[May 26, 2004, 12:11:45]

As correspondent of AzerTAj informs, at session of Milli Majlis on 25
May, the deputies have protested against investing by some companies
of the United States in various spheres on the occupied territories
of Azerbaijan, in particular, in Nagorny Karabakh. In their opinion,
establishment by some companies of the United States, being the
co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group, cooperation with separatist
forces in Nagorny Karabakh, an uncontrollable zone, contradicts the
interests of Azerbaijan.

The deputies have suggested bringing the question for discussion in
Milli Majlis, making in this occasion warning to the US ambassador in
our country.

Chairman of Milli Majlis Murtuz Alaskarov has told, that similar
actions of the American companies do not express position of the
state of US. However, despite of it, it is necessary to consider the
said question seriously.

The head of parliament has stated that would address the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs with the request to clear the given question and to
inform the ambassador of the United States in our country, that
similar actions contradict the laws of Azerbaijan.
