Washington. Husniyya Hasanova – APA. In the early 90s Chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Vice-President candidate
of US Democratic Party Joseph Biden played an active role along with
pro-Armenian senator Bob Dole in the adoption of Armenian Genocide
Resolution and Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act, which banned
U.S. assistance to Azerbaijan.
APA’s US bureau reports that Joseph Biden is also the author
of the resolution condemning the assassination of Hrant Dink
in Turkey. Therefore, Armenian politicians call Joseph Biden a
pro-Armenian politician.
But, Joseph Biden also supported the resolutions defending Azerbaijan’s
interests. He gave full support to the Silk Road Strategy Act
introduced by U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback in 1997. Joseph Biden makes
severe statements against Russia and accuses Moscow of supporting
separatist movements in the post-Soviet area. In his article published
in the Financial Times last year he said Russia’s supporting separatism
in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova was inadmissible.
