The foundation of the US-Azerbaijani relations was laid in the early
1990's almost from the moment of recognition of Azerbaijan by the
United States.
The statement came from Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, rector
of the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy Hafiz Pashayev.
He was speaking in the conference '20th anniversary of Azerbaijan's
independence-development of Azerbaijani diplomacy'.
He said, the signing of the Contract of the Century in 1994 signalized
the start of the second stage of the Azerbaijani-US relations,
which factually laid the basis for strategic partnership between the
two states.
He said the second stage of the US-Azerbaijani relations laying the
basis for strategic partnership between the two states started with
the signing of the Contract of the Century in 1994.
"It was in this period that the concept of Azerbaijan in integration in
Euroatlantic structures was defined. The third period of our relations
started after 11 September 2001, when Azerbaijan and the United States
started closer cooperation in the sphere of combat against terrorism",
the deputy minister said.
As for the influence of the Armenian lobby on foreign policy of the
United States, Pashayev said that now Armenian lobby is unable to
reach the goals it could reach a few years ago.
"The relations with Azerbaijan are rather preferable to the United
States than with Armenia. I believe in prospects and development of
our relations", Hafiz Pashayev said.
