"If America decides to stand its troops in Azerbaijan, the latter will
only be happy," stated the former government adviser Vafa Guluzade,
commenting on Russian political analyst Maxim Shevchenko on the
deployment of NATO troops in Azerbaijan after its withdrawal from
Afghanistan.
As the "Caucasus Online" reports, in an interview to "Gafgazinfo"
Guluzade had also stated that if United States makes such a decision
it is unlikely that Maxim Shevchenko will know about it. "I do not
take his statement seriously," he noted.
According to Guluzade, this is a complex issue: "It was first at the
meeting with Madeleine Albright when Heydar Aliyev offered to place
U.S. troops in Azerbaijan. Madeleine Albright met this proposal with a
smile. Even then, Azerbaijan was ready for such a step. This would
make the U.S. to depend on Azerbaijan. Americans will take that move,
if it does not make them dependent."
According to him, at present, it is unacceptable for the United
States: "Americans are engaged in resolution of Syrian and Iranian
problems. Deployment of the U.S. troops in Azerbaijan is out of
question without their decision."
