    US Congressman Calls For Reunion Of North And South Azerbaijan

    'People of Azerbaijan are geographically divided into two parts, and
    many are calling for a reunion after nearly two centuries of foreign
    domination.' US Congressman Dane Rohrabacher sent a letter to US
    Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, urging to support the struggle
    for the independence of the Azerbaijanis of Iran.

    The statement is posted on the official website of the Congressman.

    The letter was prompted by a recent report on the military cooperation
    between Azerbaijan and Israel.

    "For the US it would be appropriate to support this cooperation
    (Israel and Azerbaijan), because the dictatorial regime of Tehran is
    the enemy of both countries," the letter reads.

    The letter stated that today the people of Azerbaijan are
    geographically divided into two parts, and many are calling for a
    reunion after nearly two centuries of foreign domination.

    The number of Azerbaijanis in Iran is twice as high as in Azerbaijan.

    Their homeland was divided between Russia and Persia in 1828, without
    their consent, the congressman said.

    "The Republic of Azerbaijan gained independence in 1991, when the
    Soviet Union collapsed. Now it is the time for the Azerbaijanis of
    Iran also to gain freedom", the letter says.

    In his letter, the congressman also points out that assistance to
    the legitimate aspirations of the Azerbaijani people's struggle for
    independence is a noble cause.

    "This is more dangerous for the Iranian tyrants than the threat of
    bombing its underground nuclear bunkers", the letter says.
