Aping Turkey, Azerbaijan announces worsening of relations with U.S.
The national forum of Azeri non-governmental organizations has issued a statement over adoption of the Armenian Genocide Resolution in the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee. This measure "aroused indignation and regret" of the national forum which unites 460 non-governmental organizations.

"Such a step taken by legislative body of the state known as buttress of democracy and justice, damages the image of the United States. There is no doubt that the decision will harm not only the U.S.-Turkish but also U.S.-Azerbaijani relations. The national forum of non-governmental organizations calls on the U.S. people, Congress and Senate to condemn the bill recognizing the so-called Armenian Genocide," the statement says, Day.az reports.
