Hafiz Pashayev The decision by the US Congress to render assistance
to separatist Nagorno Karabakh has a negative influence on the
US-Azerbaijani relations.

"Certainly, this step affects our relations and we always condemn
such steps", said Azerbaijan’s deputy FM Hafiz Pashayev.

He noted that official Baku tries to avert repetition of such actions
every year but the Congress continues its actions due to the active
Armenian lobby.

"We try to inform them that this step does not promote development
of our bilateral relations and damages the national interests of the
United States", the diplomat said.

He noted that the US administration understands this but the
political situation is that the Congress takes such decisions not
only on Karabakh.

The US Congress has decided to allocate $8 mln to the unrecognized
regime of Nagorno Karabakh.
