HIS EXCELLENCYMR. ILHAM ALIYEV PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN
Dear Mr. President
The anniversary that You, Azerbaijanis, and we, Americans, are celebrating, honors an initiative that is in the interest of Azerbaijan and America, as well as of the entire Caspian region, I remember vividly the decisive conversation that I had more that ten years ago with your illustrious father. Today that initiative is becoming the reality. Under your leadership, Azerbaijan is moving towards ever greater association with the international community. The Baku-Ceyhan line is a symbol of that.
I congratulate You and people of Azerbaijan and I wish You all very best.
Sincerely
Zbigniew Bzezinski
