AZERBAIJANI MP CLAIMS FOR AZERBAIJAN QUITTING ANTITERRORIST COALITION

Regnum, Russia
March 30 2006

As head of the pro-governmental People’s Front Yeni Azerbaijan Party,
MP Gudrat Gasanguliyev announced on March 29, “Azerbaijan should quit
the antiterrorist coalition established by Americans and withdraw
its corps from Iraq.”

According to him, if initiators of the coalition do not assist in
settlement of problems in Azerbaijan, there is no sense to remain in
the coalition, reports a REGNUM correspondent.

Gasanguliyev noted that member states of the coalition render financial
aid to Armenia and separatists from Nagorno Karabakh. “This is just
another reason for Azerbaijan to quit the coalition,” he said.
