Will Baku State View on Syrian Issue with Eye on Washington?
Official Baku will express its view on the issue of the use of chemical weapons in Syria after the U.S. position becomes clear.
"On the issue of the invasion into Syria, even the position of the U.S. has not found a specific content. You know very well that to date neither Congress nor the U.S. President has made any concrete decision. It would be good to wait for them to express their view, and then to express our own position," said Novruz Mammadov, Deputy Head and the Head of the International Relations Department of the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan today, during the session of answering questions at the forum "The South Caucasus in the Changing World." -06d -
