On the one hand, Azerbaijan is laying the foundation for long-term peace with Armenia, and on the other hand, it is raising its strategic partnership with the United States to a new level.
According to "EDnews", this was stated by Prime Minister Ali Asadov at a special meeting dedicated to the historic visit of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev to Washington.
The Prime Minister noted that the visit to Washington was marked by the fact that Azerbaijani-US relations entered a qualitatively new stage:
“The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding for the purpose of preparing the Azerbaijan-US Strategic Partnership Charter opens a new page of cooperation and strategic partnership in the development of Azerbaijani-American interstate relations. The cancellation of the unjust 907th amendment to the “Freedom Support Act” adopted by Congress against our country in 1992 during the meeting held at the White House, with the participation of the head of state of Azerbaijan, after 33 years, is a clear confirmation of the extremely high authority of President Ilham Aliyev on a global scale. In the words of President Ilham Aliyev, “Today, Azerbaijan does not need foreign assistance, our country does not depend on foreign assistance. Our economy is stable, our foreign debt is less than seven percent of GDP. We have become a donor country ourselves. Therefore, President Trump's cancellation of this amendment has a symbolic meaning, and this gesture reflects the special attitude of the American head of state to President Ilham Aliyev by eliminating historical injustice against Azerbaijan. At the same time, the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between SOCAR and ExxonMobil within the framework of the visit is a continuation of the partnership that began within the framework of the national oil strategy, which was founded by the "Contract of the Century", at a new stage.
