The effect of nonaxisymmetric radiation drag on relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei is discussed. Radiation force due to inverse Compton scattering of photon fields from noncircular accretion disk is calculated. When accretion is nonaxisymmetric, a net perpendicular force on the jet appears and can distort the jet path, resulting in curved structure of the jet within subparsec region. This subparsec scale distortion may be potentially observable with the current VLBI, VLBA techniques.
