"I think the U.S. State Department will not provide a specific response
to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry’s note of protest," member of
Azerbaijan-U.S. Interparliamentary Friendship Group Nasib Nasibli said.
He was commenting on a note Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry’s sent
to the U.S. State Department to protest U.S. Congress aid worth $8
million to the break-away Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Unfortunately, every year the U.S. decides to allocate financial
aid to separatists. But Azerbaijan does not leave it unattended and
reacts promptly. Milli Majlis has sent an address to the president
and U.S. Congress," he said.
"I believe the note that Azerbaijani ambassador presented to the
U.S. State Department will have no specific impact on the U.S. Congress
decision," the MP said.
"I think the relations between the U.S. and Azerbaijan will not
change. This fact will affect public opinion in Azerbaijan, but on
the political level," Nasibli said.
