US CONGRESSMEN CALLED ON GEORGE BUSH TO EXPAND ENGAGEMENT WITH KARABAKH

Today, Azerbaijan
Oct 5 2006

Congressional letter, signed by 77 members has been sent to the
White House to call on George Bush to expand relations with Karabakh,
PanArmenian came to know from the NKR Representative Office in the U.S.

The letter claims the continuation of Azerbaijan’s "destructive"
policy, which threatens peace and stability in the region and "goes
against U.S. interests".

The letter said in part: "The United States can and must expand its
engagement with the lawfully and democratically established Nagorno
Karabakh Republic. These ties should not be dictated by outside forces
but rather should be guided by the shared values of our two nations."

Taking a stance on the letter, Public Affairs Officer of the US embassy
in Azerbaijan, Jonathan Henick stressed that the Congress is another
part of the democratic system in the USA, APA reports.

"Congressmen often send such letters to the President. US president
determines foreign policy of the US. Official Washington doesn’t
share the same opinion with the letter authors."

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
