Mr. Vasil Kalinov Ambassador of Bulgaria to Azerbaijan April 14, 2011 Baku, Azerbaijan Azerbaijan in the World: What do you see as the focus of relations between Azerbaijan and Bulgaria? Ambassador Kalinov: The most important thing is that after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the entire Eastern bloc, Azerbaijan entered on the path of independent development. And we view Azerbaijan both as an independent state striving to define itself in terms of its new post-Soviet identity and to strengthen its 1 sovereignty and independence. We have great respect for Azerbaijan and look forward to a mutually profitable partnership. In the history of our states there is much in common since Bulgaria also in the course of 45 years was under the influence of the Soviet Union and was part of various political and economic structures created and controlled by Moscow after World War II. As a result, for Bulgaria just as for Azerbaijan, the period immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union was a period of self-definition and finding one’s place in the system of international relations.

  • Testimony Before the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
    Testimony before the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe "The Security, Economic and Human Rights Dimensions of US-Azerbaijan Relations" U.S. Helsinki Commission Hearing Wednesday, June 11, 2014 at 10:00 AM Room 432 of the Russell Senate Office Building Presented by Kate Nahapetian, Government Affairs Director Armenian National Committee of America We want to thank the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe for convening this timely hearing and for giving the Armenian American community an opportunity to share our thoughts on this important matter. Far too often the international community's well-deserved scrutiny of Azerbaijan's deeply flawed human rights record fails to focus sufficient attention on the truly alarming escalation of state-driven anti-Armenian incitements, intolerance, and acts of violence. Baku's policies and practices violate international human rights principles, abrogate Azerbaijan’s own treaty obligations, destabilize the region, and create a dangerous environment conducive to the renewal of full-scale hostilities. In light of Azerbaijan’s increasingly fatal pattern of cross-border ceasefire violations - including attacks just this past week - we hope the Commission will echo the calls by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Armenia and the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh to pull back snipers. It is in the spirit of our shared search for peace that the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA), an organization that speaks for many U.S. citizens who fled pogroms and massacres in Azerbaijan, which the U.S. condemned,1 welcomes this opportunity to shed more light on the real-world implications of Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian policies.
