Obama's interest to Azerbaijan was demonstrated with the very fact
of his visit to Baku, said political scientist and chairman of the
Public Forum "For Azerbaijan", commenting on Obama's election as the
US president and his further policy, regarding Azerbaijan.
The political scientist reminded that while being a senator Obama
took not so many foreign trips.
"The visit to our country was taken in the framework of the visit to
Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. The program of the visit to our country
included the visit to the Sangachal terminal, watching trainings on
the Caspian Sea for liberation of the so-called terrorist-captured
ships. At that time Obama was preparing a special disarmament law.
As is known, Azerbaijan is among the countries, which are of strategic
importance for the United States. The same attitude towards our country
was demonstrated both under Clinton's and Bush's leadership. I think
this will continue under Obama's government", said Namazov.
According to him, while being in Baku, Obama displayed interest with
the Karabakh conflict. Namazov said Obama has a general approach
to international problems envisioning close cooperation between
the United States and international community in the framework of
international law.
"This approach is consonant with the Azerbaijani position on
Karabakh. Barak Obama criticizes Bush's administration for Iraw
invasion as he did not see any legitimate grounds for it and considered
this invasion a mistake.
In most other conflict situation Obama always spoke for the precise
observance of definite rules of games and norms of international
law. I think the new head of the White House will rely on this approach
towards the Karabakh conflict as well", said Namazov.
The political scientist noted regarding Obama's promises to recognize
the so-called "Armenian genocide" that though this raises concerns
these statements were not made by accident as the state, Obama
represented in the Senate, has a strong Armenian lobby.
"I would like to remind that this state has already adopted its own
resolution on "genocide". But we should be patient and see how the
new US President will act in this direction.
I think no direct parallels should be drawn between this issue and
the Karabakh problem. There are many politicians and diplomats in
the United States who view separately the issues of the so-called
genocide, the events which occurred a century ago and the Karabakh
conflict, the problems of the occupied Azerbaijani lands", concluded
the political scientist.
