    CONGRESSMAN ROBERT WEXLER: "AZERBAIJAN IS A KEY ENERGY SOURCE FOR BOTH EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES"

    21 February 2008

    Members of Turkish and Azerbaijani community of Northern California
    have today met with Robert Wexler, co-chair of the Congress' working
    group on Turkey, congressman of 19th district of Florida.

    APA reports that the meeting was organized by American Turkish Alliance
    for Justice.

    The aim of the meeting was to demonstrate support of Turkish and
    Azerbaijani community to the congressman in the forthcoming elections.

    The event was held in Menlo Park city of Northern
    California. Azerbaijan was represented by founder of Northern
    Azerbaijanis' Cultural Center Samir Lutvaliyev.

    Prior to the event, answering the question of APA Robert Wexler highly
    appreciated the results of his visit to Azerbaijan two weeks ago. He
    mentioned that Azerbaijan, neighbor of such giant countries as Iran
    and Russia, allied with the West and was an important energy source
    for both Europe and the US.

    Speaking about his day and a half visit to Azerbaijan, the congressman
    said Turkish embassy had a very beautiful building in Baku. According
    to the congressman, Turkish embassy is the largest in Baku and this is
    the symbol of eternal fraternity between the two states. Addressing
    the meeting, Robert Wexler said Turkish Diaspora was on the stage of
    development and over 72 congressmen were represented in the working
    group on Turkey in the Congress.

    According to Robert Wexler, the main attention in connection with
    the Diaspora formation should be focused on California.

    "This is because the large Armenian community of the US lives there,"
    he said.

    The congressman said those who support Armenian Genocide Resolution
    (H.Res.106) spoiled the image of the United States. Robert Wexler
    said Turkey was a democratic state and 75 percent of equipment,
    supplies and food for military operations were delivered to Iraq
    through this country.
