Foreign Affairs committee  Like Ms. Wistrand, I wouldn't be able to assess the amount of money and where it would go, what's needed. I would suggest very careful oversight and accountability naturally, given the situation. It would be very difficult to couple the kind of aid that we're talking about here for displaced people—technically, people who fled Azerbaijan into Armenia and are therefore considered refugees, and the formerly internally displaced population left in the eastern part of Azerbaijan, who formerly had lived in either Nagorno-Karabakh or the surrounding territories.

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm sorry, but what exactly is the ruling? I'm not familiar with what you're referring to.

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes, sir, that is one of the many areas where western entities—private companies, governments and international organizations—continue to do business with Baku. They will all say that energy security is among their main pillars for dealing with the Azerbaijani government, along with other types of security.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is a pleasure to be here. Thank you for the invitation. Ladies and gentlemen, the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh that we are discussing now is primarily a problem of the 20th century. It is specifically a result of boundary delineation in the Soviet Union by its early leaders, including Stalin.
