Khazar Ibrahim: No international organization recognizes local elections in Nagorno Karabakh

16 October 2007 14:50 (UTC +04:00)

Taking a stance on the approval of the bill on the so-called Armenian genocide by the House Foreign Affairs Committee Khazar Ibrahim cited the article written by one of the editors in yesterdayâ€™s Washington Post.
â€œArmenian Diaspora would rather pay attention to the situation in Armenia, problems of democracy, human rights and corruption rather than submitting such documents to the US government. These views show that there is no unambiguous position on this bill in the US,â€ he said.
Foreign Ministryâ€™s representative noted that Azerbaijani government holds a number of events on Khojaly genocide.
â€œOne of them was held in the US Congress a few years ago. Analogous events will continue,â€ he said.
Khazar Ibrahim also commented on the official financial assistance of the US to the separatist regime in Nagorno Karabakh.
â€œYou should not think that the US administration allocates great amount of funds to Nagorno Karabakh. The US offers financial assistance to Armenia and Azerbaijan. Armenian Diaspora mostly sends funds to Nagorno Karabakh. USAID finances some projects in Nagorno Karabakh in the framework of humanitarian projects, but the organization officially reports to Azerbaijani government about use of the funds,â€ he said. /APA/
