    Azerbaijan will hold its ground on Karabakh issue right to the end and
    there is no point in exerting pressure on official Baku in any format,"
    Chief of international relations department of Azerbaijani Presidential
    Administration Novruz Mammadov stated at the international conference
    "Security obstacles in the South Caucasus: Realities and Prospects for
    Regional Cooperation" organized by the Center for Strategic Studies
    under Azerbaijani President.

    According to Azadlig, Azerbaijan does not get any assistance from U.S.,
    quite the contrary, "continuously faces criticism by West for human
    rights and other issues," Mammadov said. Speaking of the Armenia-Turkey
    Protocols on the normalization of bilateral relations, he noted that
    "western diplomats often say they are short of time and opportunity to
    discuss various issues, however all of a sudden they got together in
    Zurich for border opening and the Protocols were signed at top level."

    Referring to verdict against two Azerbaijani bloggers, Mammadov
    underlined: "Western, and U.S. press in particularly display greater
    interest in the matter, that in NKR issue. "The official actually
    esteemed it as a pressure on Azerbaijan, the source reports. Mammadov
    called western diplomats to simmer down in the issues connected with
    Azerbaijan. According to him, "Azerbaijan can play a mediator's role
    between the East and West, Islamic and Christian worlds." In addition,
    the official emphasized that "as a result of BBC poll conducted
    in Arabian states, 8 out of 10 respondents express hatred towards
    the U.S. and this country should take a though over the matters,"
    Mammadov concluded.
