Baku, 9 August: The chairman of the reformist wing of the People’s
Front of Azerbaijan Party, Ali Karimli, has met ex-US President Bill
Clinton, former US Secretary of State Madlen Albright and some
leading figures from the Bush administration during the forum of
international leaders in Boston which he attended between 24 and 29
July. Karimli held a press conference today to impart information in
this regard.

During the meetings, Karimli mainly discussed ensuring freedom of
assembly for Azerbaijani citizens, the Nagornyy Karabakh problem, and
the forthcoming municipal and parliamentary elections.

Karimli also talked about the upcoming presidential election in the
USA. He said that the Democratic hopeful, John Kerry, was
pro-Armenian because he was a senator from the state of Massachusetts
where many Armenians live.

The objective of the forum was the unveiling of the foreign policy
concept of the Democratic contender in the US elections.
