    Testimony :: Ambassador Daniel Fried Principal Deputy Special Advisor to the Secretary of State - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe Ambassador Daniel Fried Principal Deputy Special Advisor to the Secretary of State For the New Independent States "Elections, Democratization and Human Rights in Azerbaijan" Mr. Chairman, it is an honor to be here today representing the Administration at this hearing. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss recent developments in Azerbaijan and U.S. foreign policy goals in that country. The United States seeks development of modern democratic political and economic institutions in Azerbaijan and the strengthening of Azerbaijan's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. With its vast hydrocarbon resources and its geo-strategic position on east-west trade routes, Azerbaijan stands a strong chance of becoming a vital hub for the transport of Caspian Basin energy resources to world markets. To promote our interests in Azerbaijan, we have established the following priority policy goals: § Promoting regional stability and cooperation. Long-term stability in the Caucasus will require a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. As a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, we, along with our French and Russian counterparts, are working with the parties to bring about a mutually agreeable, just and durable settlement. § Broadening our cooperation with Azerbaijan to counter global threats, including terrorism, drug trafficking and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and associated delivery systems, materials, technologies and expertise. § Supporting development of Azerbaijan's energy resources. We have sought to augment global energy supplies and support U.S. commercial interests by developing Azerbaijan's energy resources in an environmentally sound manner.

    DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World

    DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization.

    Designate Matthew J. Bryza by Senator Barbara Boxer (#1) Senate Foreign Relations Committee July 22, 2010

    Questions for the Record Submitted to Ambassador – Designate Matthew J. Bryza by Senator Barbara Boxer (#1) Senate Foreign Relations Committee July 22, 2010 Question: On June 18, a violent clash took place near Nagorno-Karabakh that left four ethnic Armenian troops and one Azerbaijani soldier dead. During your confirmation hearing, you suggested that Azerbaijani soldiers moved across the “Line of Contact.” If this is the case, why hasn’t the U.S. government been more forceful in its condemnation of Azerbaijan? Is the Government of Azerbaijan actively trying to escalate the conflict with Armenia? Answer: As Secretary Clinton made clear during her recent trip to the Caucasus, the United States condemns the use of force and regrets the loss of life that resulted from the incident during the night of June 18-19, 2010. The full details of what occurred on June 18 are not known. Regardless, the U.S. government believes strongly in the inadmissibility of the use of force or the threat of force and reiterates the need to remain engaged in the Minsk Group Process in pursuit of a peaceful settlement of the conflict. With active mediation by the United States and its French and Russian counterparts in the OSCE’s Minsk Group, President Aliyev and Sargsian have established an ongoing dialogue in an effort to achieve a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabagh conflict and the parties have come far towards reaching a mutually acceptable agreement. In June, 2010 the Presidents of the Minsk Group Co-Chair countries (France, Russia, and the United States) issued a joint statement calling on the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan to “take the next step and complete the work on the Basic Principles to enable the drafting of a peace agreement to begin.” If confirmed as Ambassador, I will urge President Aliyev to maintain his commitment to the Minsk Group process and do everything possible to support the U.S.
