Once again Azerbaijan uses U.S. Senator to serve its interests

Baku is actively using the practice of the U.S. Senators’ standardized replies to electors’ requests, despite their contents, in an information war against Armenia.

Recently, Azeri media reported that Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland replied the letter of the U.S. Azeris Network (USAN) related to the killing of the American serviceman with a weapon “illegally provided to Iran by Armenia.”

USAN was wrong twice, referring to WikiLeaks data, which has became mistrusted by everyone as a U.S. tool for punishing “disobedient” states. Second, no proof was provided as to allegation that the serviceman was killed with an Armenian weapon.

However, one must note that in certain segments of the information war Azerbaijan gets the upper hand of Armenia. In this case, USAN caught the chance to yet another time accuse Armenia of supplying weapon to Iran, forgetting about piles of weapons purchased by Azerbaijan on a daily basis.

What will any Senator’s reply be if, as a result of Karabakh talks, U.S. peacemakers are sent to the region, and some of them, which is inevitable, are killed by the very weapon almost the whole world supplies to Azerbaijan? The question is clearly rhetoric, considering Baku’s habit to shift every fault on Yerevan.
