Elin Suleymanov Armenia`s unconstructive position hinders
comprehensive cooperation in South Caucasus, Azerbaijan`s consul
general in Los Angeles Elin Suleymanov said

Representatives of the Armenian community in California have attempted
to stage provocation while Azerbaijan`s consul general in Los Angeles
made a speech in the Pacific Club on his country`s role in the South
Caucasus region.

The Armenians tried to interrupt the Consul General`s remarks, but failed.

Suleymanov said in his remarks that Azerbaijan was recognized as a
tolerant country across the world. He added Azerbaijan was the first
secular country in the Muslim world.

The diplomat noted his country had become a regional leader.

He underlined Azerbaijan`s President Ilham Aliyev successfully
continues the well-balanced policy founded by national leader Heydar
Aliyev.

Suleymanov also said Armenia`s unconstructive position hinders
comprehensive cooperation in the South Caucasus. The event was
attended by former US ambassador to Azerbaijan Rino Harnish and
members of the Azerbaijani and Turkish communities.
