Ruling party exec: Obama’s re-election to further strengthen ties with Azerbaijan
Re-electing US President Barack Obama will lead to the further strengthening of the relations between Azerbaijan and the U.S., deputy chairman of the ruling Yeni (New) Azerbaijan Party (YAP), Ali Ahmadov, said on Thursday.
Relations between the two countries continue developing in a positive way. They serve the national interests of Azerbaijan and the U.S., he told media.
"We stand for developing these relations," he said. "Azerbaijan takes an active part in ensuring international security and combating terrorism. The interests and policies of Azerbaijan and the U.S. coincide in this regard."
He said that U.S. activity has been stepped up on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict under the leadership of Obama last year. Washington's attempts to take the initiative in the process are "sometimes observed", he said.
He added that if the U.S continues supporting the settlement of the Karabakh conflict and take real steps for this, then "we can expect a rapid settlement of the conflict".
