"No international organization recognizes local elections in Nagorno
Karabakh," spokesman for Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibrahim said while
commenting on the local elections held by the separatist regime in
the occupied Azerbaijani territories. He said that no international
recognizes these elections, as this territory has no status.
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 yesterday's Washington
Post.
"Armenian 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," he said.
Foreign Ministry's representative noted that Azerbaijani government
holds a number of events on Khojaly genocide.
"One of them was held in the US Congress a few years ago. Analogous
events will continue," he said.
Khazar Ibrahim also commented on the official financial assistance
of the US to the separatist regime in Nagorno Karabakh.
"You 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,"
he said.
