  U.S. Embassy in Baku attempts to “justify” American senator's visit to NKR  October 4, 2011 - 19:26 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - The US Embassy is aware of press reports of a visit to Nagorno Karabakh by California State Senator Joseph Simitian. As a state senator, Simitian does not represent the United States Government, Spokesman for the US embassy in Azerbaijan Keith Bean stated. He noted that under the doctrine of separation of powers between federal and state governments in the US Constitution, state officials act independently of the United States Government. “The United States Government had no control over his schedule, nor did Simitian consult with the Embassy about his travel plans,” APA quoted him as saying. On October 3, Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs blacklisted the senator for his visit to “occupied territories” of Azerbaijan “without prior coordination with Azeri authorities.”   Top stories Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived in Moscow on April 22 to hold talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive.
