Former U.S. Representative Dan Burton this week resigned as
head of a lobbying group founded by Azerbaijan tycoon Anar Mammadov to
gain American support for country’s authoritarian government.
"As I have not heard from you or Anar, and have not been paid for a
year, please consider this e-mail as a letter of resignation as Chairman
of the Azerbaijan American Alliance," Burton wrote in a 1 March e-mail
to James Fabiani, whose Washington-based firm lobbies for the group in
the U.S., Radio Free Europe reported.
