BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 10. I want to send
the best regards from the President of the United States, both to
you personally and to the people of Azerbaijan, US Vice President
James David Vance said during his press statement with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev,
Trend reports.
“I think this has, for a very long time, been an
underappreciated but very, very, very important partnership and
friendship for the United States of America. I think many Americans
may not know that, for example, the Azerbaijanis were some of the
last to leave Afghanistan. They were very supportive in the global
war on terrorism. They fought alongside United States Marines in
Afghanistan, and, in fact, earned a reputation as being some of the
toughest and fiercest troops anywhere in the world. And so we
wanted to come today to show our appreciation for this friendship,
but also to really turn the page and open up the next chapter,” he
added.
