Yeni Azerbaijan party has sent a letter of protest to the House of
Representatives of the US congress due to their position, demonstrated
during the hearings "Caucasus: frozen conflicts and closed borders",
reports Day.Az with reference to the press service for the party.

The letter says that US Congress members Noward Berman, Nollenberg,
Brad Sherman, Adam Schiff and Frank Pallone highly evaluated the
strategic cooperation between Azerbaijan and the United States.

Yet the Yeni Azerbaijan Party and Azerbaijani community voices deep
regret with the speeches of some congressmen.

Particularly, they did not give objective assessment to Nagorno
Karabakh conflict and voiced opinion, which does not correspond
to reality.

The party hopes that position of these congressmen was connected
with their being not too well-aware of the resolution of the UN
Security Council.

The message states that it would be logical to speak against the
occupation policy of Armenia, which occupied 20% of the territory of
Azerbaijan, leaving about a million of refugees.

The Yeni Azerbaijan party considers that congressmen will further
voice an unbiased position.
