They don’t believe at Azeri Foreign Ministry that John Marshal Evans,
the US ambassador to Armenia, could have said that “the US is the
second country after Armenia that renders humanitarian aid to Nagorno
Karabakh.”

“Anyway, Azerbaijan should send a note to the US. This country has a
definite position in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Recently, Colin
Powel affirmed in the letter addressed to Elmar Mammediarov, that the
US supports Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. That is why, the
abovementioned statements should be considered as insinuations of the
mass media. I don’t believe,” Mertin Mirza, the press secretary of the
Azeri Foreign Ministry, said according to the Baku Ekho newspaper.

“Don’t we and the international community know that the US renders
annual aid that amounts to millions of dollars to Nagorno Karabakh?
Besides, the American know that Karabakh is ruled by an
anti-democratic administration that is engaged in the trade of arms
and drugs,” Elmar Ghahramanov, lawmaker from Yeni Azerbaijan party
said.
