Azerbaijani Ambassador to the U.S. Yashar Aliyev presented Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry’s official note to the US State Department to
protest its recently approved $8 million USD in financial aid to
Nagorno-Karabakh, reported Azerbaijani agency Trend News, quoting
ANS TV.
Yashar Aliyev said that the "Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan,"
with the seven surrounding districts, was illegally "occupied" by
Armenia and the conduct of any US government programs or activities in
Nagorno-Karabakh and other "occupied territories of Azerbaijan" without
prior negotiations with Azerbaijan would be contrary to the officially
declared position of the United States on support for the sovereignty
and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan within its internationally
recognized borders, reports Azerbaijani news site News.Az.
