Azeri party leader accuses Obama of ‘biased policy’
The leader of an Azerbaijani political party has accused US
President Barack Obama of "pursuing a biased, non-objective policy"
toward Azerbaijan.
Fazayil Aghamali, the chairman of pro-government Ana Vatan party, said that following Obama’s election, the US administration’s policy has been unfair and detrimental to US-Azerbaijani relations.
"We are disappointed with this. Some analysts, some politicians tend to lay the blame for this on Azerbaijan, but these people are mistaken. The Armenian diaspora played a one-of-the-kind role in Obama’s coming to power, it actively participated in those presidential elections and supported Obama with funding and organizing efforts.
"A terse, non-objective and erroneous policy continues to be pursued toward Azerbaijan and Turkey today. And lying at the core of this is Armenian fanaticism, and [efforts to achieve] delivering on the promise given to Armenians in some shape or form."
Obama had pledged while on the campaign trail to ensure recognition of the alleged "genocide" of Armenians, a claim on the killings of up to 1.5 million people by Ottoman Turks during World War I that is dismissed by Turkey.*
