JONATHAN HENICK: "WE ARE NEGOTIATING WITH AZERBAIJAN ON RESCHEDULING THE SECURITY TALKS"

Today, Azerbaijan
April 23 2007

"The United States reaffirms its support for the territorial integrity
of Azerbaijan, restates that Nagorno Karabakh and surrounding
territories are Azerbaijani territories," the US Embassy public
affairs officer Jonathan Henick stated.

He did not agree to the claims on uncertainty of the statement in
the 2006 State Department Country Reports on Human Rights Practices
saying Nagorno Karabakh is Azerbaijani territory.

"This report is not dedicated to a territorial integrity, conflict
or Nagorno Karabakh but to the current situation of human rights,"
he said.

Commenting on the postponing of the security talks between Azerbaijan
and the US, Jonathan Henick said they are negotiating with official
Baku regarding this issue, APA reports.

"We are negotiating with Azerbaijan on rescheduling the talks. The
talks have not been rejected, they have only been postponed," the
Embassy officer said.
