Ziyafet Asgarov The first vice-speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament
has commented on the US attitude to the Karabakh problem.

‘We demand the just approach of the OSCE Minsk Group and objective
assessment of issues related to the settlement of the Karabakh
problem’, first vice-speaker of Milli Majlis Ziyafet Asgarov told
reporters Friday

‘First, the relations between Baku and Washington have not spoiled.

It’s just that we have certain expectations from the United States
both as the co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group and a strategic partner.

If the United States considers Azerbaijan to be its strategic partner
and ally, we encourage them to take a fair position in the Karabakh
issue’, said Asgarov.

According to him, today Armenia has reneged on previous agreements.

‘The support provided to Armenia by the United States and other
countries of the OSCE Minsk Group led to the fact that Armenia has
taken an unconstructive position and organizes a political demarche’,
he said.

‘This is inadmissible for Azerbaijan. We demand from the OSCE to
show an equitable approach to the Karabakh conflict and to give up
pressure on Turkey in this matter’, he said.
