its partnership with the U.S. as key to advancing major
connectivity projects linking Asia and Europe, Assistant to the
President of Azerbaijan on special assignments Elchin Amirbayov
said in an interview with Czech media, Trend reports.
“This second term of President Trump in the United States as a
president has marked a new page in bilateral relations with
Azerbaijan. Today, we may say that this relationship has reached
its peak in terms of quality and scope,” he said.
According to Amirbayov, the sides signed a charter on strategic
partnership covering a wide range of areas.
“It was a charter on strategic partnership between Azerbaijan
and the United States, which covers quite a number of areas. And of
course these areas were chosen on the basis of mutual understanding
and interest of both sides,” he noted.
He added that the U.S. has also contributed to peace efforts
between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
“The second element, which makes this relationship also very
important, is the positive role that the United States and this
administration have played in promoting peace between Azerbaijan
and Armenia,” Amirbayov said.
Amirbayov stressed that beyond political and peace efforts, the
partnership is aimed at shaping new transport routes.
“But it's not only that. It is beyond this factor. It's about
creating in the future a new or alternative route of connectivity
which will link East Asia with Western Europe through the Caspian
Sea and through the South Caucasus,” he noted.
“If we put all this together, that will demonstrate how
important this relationship is for Azerbaijan with the United
States. We are to continue this positive dynamics,” Amirbayov
added.
