"Today the USA is a strong country of the world and the co-chair of
the OSCE Minsk Group, as well as the country where Armenian lobby is
very active. Therefore, Azerbaijan should strengthen its position
by introducing its large cultural heritage to the USA," the MP of
Azerbaijani, Ganira Pashayeva, said, commenting on the visit of
the parliamentary delegation of Azerbaijan headed by the President
of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, Good-Will Ambassador of UNESCO,
Mehriban Aliyeva.

According to Pashayeva, the knowledge of the large circles of the
USA about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not at the necessary
level. "I consider that it is necessary to hold events dedicated
to the culture of Nagorno-Karabakh during the anniversaries of the
occupied Azerbaijani lands, which will provide information that
Nagorno-Karabakh is the integral part of Azerbaijan," she said.

In addition, the MP said that it is necessary to publish these
questions in the USA media, and Azerbaijani students and Diasporas
may play a great role in this issue. She said that the students are
very active in this process. "During the visit of Arkadi Gukasyan to
California, five Azerbaijani students made speeches at the meeting
and openly expressed their protest against the false statements of
Gukasyan", Pashayeva said.

"Many talented people live in USA, who may increase the knowledge
of the USA wide circles about Azerbaijan, culture of Azerbaijan,
realities about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and they will be
supported by Azerbaijan," Pashayeva said.
