Azerbaijan is a trusted partner, says US Congressman
Baku, June 30, AZERTAC
“Having just returned from Azerbaijan, where I met with President Ilham Aliyev, I was reminded once again that America's influence is strongest when we actively engage with trusted partners,” Abraham Hamadeh, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, said in an article published by the U.S. news outlet Newsmax.
“This visit reinforced an important truth: America's allies are looking for American leadership,” Hamadeh said.
According to him, Azerbaijan may not dominate the headlines in Washington, but it occupies one of the most strategically important locations in the world.
“Situated between Europe and Asia and bordering both Russia and Iran, Azerbaijan has become an indispensable energy producer, transportation hub, and security partner. It plays an increasingly important role in strengthening Europe's energy independence, expanding trade corridors, and promoting stability in a volatile region,” the congressman emphasized.
He said that, under President Trump's leadership, Armenia and Azerbaijan have made significant progress toward achieving a durable and lasting peace.
Hamadeh further noted that this historic breakthrough creates new opportunities for economic growth, regional stability, and long-term prosperity that can only flourish in an environment of peace.
“The historic peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan establishes a political framework that will require continued international engagement and support to succeed. The United States cannot afford to disengage at such a pivotal moment,” he added.
