SUBJECT: DEMARCHE DELIVERED ON INFORMING PARTNERS ON THE
COMMISSION FOR ASSISTANCE TO A FREE CUBA
REF: STATE 113702
1. (U) Poloff delivered ref points to MFA Americas Desk
Officer Elchin Bashirov. Poloff emphasized that since
Azerbaijan is a member of the United Nations Human Rights
council, the US Government takes seriously Azerbaijan's
commitment to work constructively on human rights issues and,
for this reason, is sharing information on the Commission for
Assistance to a Free Cuba (CAFC).
2. (SBU) Bashirov said that he could not speak
authoritatively on the subject, but noted that Cuba was not a
priority for Azerbaijan. Should the Government of Azerbaijan
provide substantive comments regarding the issue, post will
notify Washington.
