The format of relations between the U.S. and Azerbaijan is reliable, being a strategic partnership and cooperation in several areas. This line will continue, Turan was told by the head of the ideological department of the presidential administration, Ali Hasanov, when asked about the prospects of bilateral relations in the light of the re-election of Barack Obama.
At the same time, Hasanov said Azerbaijan will increase "pressure" in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. "Of course, we will increase the pressure on all the co-chairs of the OSCE, including the United States. They, in turn, should increase pressure on Armenia in the settlement of the conflict, to promote the negotiation process," said Ali Hasanov. -03B04-
