Fikret Sadikhov 'It is time when the leading superpowers show
demonstrative interest to Azerbaijan.
The increased activeness and dynamic political game on the US part
is currently perceived in the South Caucasus region', said political
scientist Fikret Sadikhov commenting on the visit of head of Pentagon
Robert Gates to Azerbaijan.
'The visit of US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to Baku and the
preparing visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton proves the
significant growth of the US strategic interest to Azerbaijan as an
important chain in the transit corridor from Iraq and Afghanistan. The
main transfer of coalition troops and arms to Afghanistan is carried
out by the North transit corridor via Azerbaijan', Sadikhov said.
According to the political scientist, undoubtedly, in the light of
the growing interest of the US foreign policy to Azerbaijan, official
Baku will recall to Washington about the commitments assumed by the
United States within the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group on the
resolution of the Karabakh conflict on the basis of international
law and sovereignty of Azerbaijan.
'It is time when the leading superpowers show demonstrative interest
to Azerbaijan, since much in world policy started to depend on
the South Caucasus region and the position of official Baku. In
this connection, Russia understands the need to find the formula of
pressure on aggressor Armenia, since Armenia has already become the
factor hampering integration processes between Russia and Turkey.
If earlier Russia supported Armenia as a cordon between it and NATO's
Turkey, now this cordon has turned into a hindrance for the interests
of the Russian foreign policy in the region and the wider areal',
Sadikhov concluded.
