law"

"Announcements of Azerbaijani government fully correspond to the
norms of international law and country’s constitution.

US position on the Karabakh issue also complies with the
international law".

The due announcement was made by Khazar Ibragim, spokesman for
Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry, commenting on the appeal of the US
congressmen to the US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice with a
request to react to "the threats of the Azerbaijani authorities to
resume war".

The spokesman recommended the Congress members to adhere to the
position of their own country: "It would be better for proarmenian
congressmen to adhere to the position of their country and norms of
international law.

The United States recognize the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
and announcements of President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev are aimed
to ensure it".

As has been reported, 52 members of the House of Representatives
called on the US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice to react to the
"threats of the Azerbaijani authorities to resume aggression against
Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh and to undertake due measures to keep
the Baku powers from actions, which undermine stability in the South
Caucasus".

The letter says that "these threats contradict US aims for
establishing peace and stability in the South Caucasus".

The letter has been initiated by congressmen Joe Nollenberg and Frank
Pallone.
