The Azeri Diaspora in the US started a new campaign asking the Senate
to state Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, APA’s Washington DC
correspondent reports.

The US Senate passed the resolution 175, which recognizes Georgia’s
territorial integrity, and considers Abkhazia and South Ossetia as
occupied regions of Georgia just recently and therefore the US Azeris
think “that a similar resolution must be passed for Azerbaijan as well,
recognizing Azerbaijani territorial integrity and recognizing Karabakh
region as an occupied territory of Azerbaijan”, says the statement.

The USAN asks Diaspora members and friends to send a letter to the
appropriate officials asking to accept such a resolution.

“We are writing in regards to the July 29 passage of Senate Resolution
175, which was “Expressing the sense of the Senate with respect to
ongoing violations of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of
Georgia and the importance of a peaceful and just resolution to the
conflict within Georgia’s internationally recognized borders”, and
kindly request that a similar resolution be passed about “Expressing
the sense of the Senate with respect to ongoing violations of the
territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan and the importance
of a peaceful and just resolution to the conflict within Azerbaijan’s
internationally recognized borders”.
