reached our goal"

For the first time in California we held large scale actions on the
Khojaly tragedy, said chairman of the Democratic Reforms Party Asim
Mollazade, who returned home from the United States, where he took
part in the events on the 17th anniversary of the Khojaly genocide.
He said they focused on the need to bring to responsibility the
criminals, who committed such crimes against the humanity.
"The events were held in other US cities too. I spoke at the Brookings
Institute of Washington.
Moreover, we had meetings with US assistant secretary of state Bruce
Connak, OSCE MG co-chair Matthew Bryza, as well as officials of the
South Caucasus department of department of state. Two "round tables"
on our country were held at the US Department of State. All these
events and meetings played a great role in forming an image of
Azerbaijan and Karabakh conflict among the US community",
He said so far the US public had no sufficient idea about Azerbaijan
and the Karabakh problem.
"Serious work is currently being held in this direction. Armenians’
reaction on our visit proves that we have reached our goal. They have
published an article entitled "Azerbaijan have reached California".
This proves that we have managed to inform the public of even that
state, where Armenians’ positions are traditionally strong, about the
truth. This work needs to be continued. I highly evaluate the activity
of the consulate general of Azerbaijan in California. The officials of
this consulate are working under hard conditions and attain serious
results despite this", said he.
He considers that the US policy towards our region will not change
seriously.
"The United States is interested in expansion of cooperation with
Azerbaijan", concluded Mollazade.
