Chairman of Azerbaijani-Americans for Democracy (AZAD), Elmar Chakhtakhtinski, met yesterday with the US Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Richard Morningstar in DC.
The meeting centered on issues of human rights and democracy.
"It was a pleasure to meet again with Ambassador Morningstar, hear his views on the current situation and share our ideas for promoting democratic development in Azerbaijan. AZAD's position has always been that the support for democracy and human rights in Azerbaijan is vital for securing America's own strategic interests in that part of the world. Therefore, we continuously encourage the US government to do more in that direction", said Mr. Chakhtakhtinski in his comments to Azeri Report.
Regarding the upcoming presidential elections in Azerbaijan, Mr. Chakhtakhtinski said he reiterated AZAD's view that the United States should demand explicitly, the observance of the fundamental criteria for free and fair elections and be ready to give a clear and unequivocal assessment if the Azerbaijani government again violates those basic standards. -25D-
