Azeri lobby in us addresses George Bush

In the run-up to the meeting of US and Russian presidents in Ljublana, Slovenia, the Azerbaijan lobby in the United States urged US president George Bush to win Putin's support in the issue of restoration of peace and stability in the Caucasus.

The joint effort of the USA and Russia will speed up the peace process and promote restoration of peace based on international norms, in particular the UN Security Council resolutions, says the address signed by the president of the Azeri community Tomris Azeri.

"We, Azeri-born citizens of the Unites States, fully support your peace initiatives. Azerbaijanis of the whole world are confident that lasting peace can only be achieved through the observance of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and other countries of the region, a complete withdrawal of the occupant Armenian troops from the Azerbaijan territory and return of all refugees to their homes", the address says.
