An event related to Nagorno-Karabakh held in the House of Representatives by pro-Armenian forces does not reflect official stance of the US.
The United States has announced it recognizes Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity numerous times.
The remarks came from Vice Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Bahar Muradova in her interview with the ruling party website.
The fact that the leadership of the US Congress House of Representatives takes pro-Armenian stance is nothing new, Muradova said.
Not only Nagorno-Karabakh, but also the so-called “Armenian genocide” has been tabled on numerous occasions here, she added.
'This is a result of efforts of the Armenian diaspora and forces serving Armenia’s interests.'
'They want this issue to stand on agenda constantly. And sometimes they succeed in holding similar events. But it does not mean that views voiced in these events reflect official stance of the United States. We should not get discouraged and should go ahead with our efforts because justice and international legal principles are on our side,' the Vice-Speaker noted.
'If the US, as a super power, wants international legal principles to dominate and puts forward its stance in this regard, its actions should meet its words. We need to work with each of the members of the House of Representatives. Our diplomats, politicians, NGOs and diaspora should work consistently in this direction,' Muradova stated.
