Azerbaijan
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's forthcoming official
visit to the region and in particular to Azerbaijan testifies to the
importance attached by the U.S. to the region, as well as bilateral
relations between the U.S with each country, Trend Expert Council
member, Professor of the Western University, political analyst Fikret
Sadikhov said today.
"It is no secret that the U.S. has its own strategic interests in
the region," he told Trend. "It is interested in stability and the
development of democratic values and safe operation of the grandiose
projects where they are involved."
U.S. Secretary of State will visit Azerbaijan during her tour to the
South Caucasus on June 6.
He added that of course, the White House attaches particular importance
to Azerbaijan. The country has come a long way in its development over
20 years. It virtually became a leading country in many respects. It
has been elected a member of the UN Security Council. All this gives
great importance to Azerbaijan. He added that Azerbaijan is also
interested in developing relations with the U.S.
"Of course, if anyone thinks that all regional problems and the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are immediately resolved after the visit,
one should not deceive themselves," Sadikhov said.
Another question is that the U.S. can take the initiative. Being
interested in stability in the region, the U.S may have an impact on
Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement. This would attach
the significance to Clinton's visit and in general the U.S. role in
the region, he added.
He stressed that another important aspect of the upcoming visit,
which cannot be forgotten is that it will take place within the U.S.
presidential campaign. In this situation, the White House should
determine the priorities of its foreign policy, show interest in
stability in certain regions and enlist the support of its electorate
on the policy in the South Caucasus. In this regard, the White House
must be interested in the final settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.
