Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
April 23 2007
Azerbaijan Society of America (ASA) has written a protest letter to the
US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice. The ASA president Tomris Azeri
told APA’s US bureau that the society protests against the change to
the Department of State’s 2006 Report on Human Rights Practices.
Tomris Azeri stressed that Azerbaijan’s territorial is recognized
by international organizations, US and OSCE Minsk Group co-chair
countries. Reminding about State Department spokesman, Sean
McCormack’s statement on Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, ASA
demanded confirmation of the previous variant of the report which
states that "Armenia continued to occupy the Azerbaijani territory
of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding Azerbaijani territories"
The change to the report was made after the interference of Armenian
National Committee of America.
