Is the Sheikh acting as an intermediary between Baku and Washington?
Baku/01.12.23/Turan: Against the background of deteriorating relations between the United States and Azerbaijan, Miles Hansen, head of the Board of the American Sterling Foundation, arrived in Baku.
Strangely enough, he was received by Sheikh Allahshukur Pashazade, who praised the Sterling Foundation's participation in the demining of the liberated territories.
In response, Hansen expressed gratitude for the warm welcome and invited the sheikh to visit Utah, whose religious community "has spiritual ties with Azerbaijan." This is stated in a message on the website of the Office of Muslims of the Caucasus.
It is difficult to understand what the sheikh has to do with the demining of territories, and why on earth the representative of the American foundation is discussing these issues with Pashazade.
Most likely, Hansen was refused at the official level in response to Washington's refusal to host representatives of official Baku.
It remains to be hoped that the sheikh will cope with this diplomatic mission and will be able to establish contacts between Baku and Washington. -0-
Шейх в роли посредника между Баку и Вашингтоном?
Баку/01.12.23/Turan: На фоне ухудшения отношений между США и Азербайджаном в Баку прибыл глава правления Американского Фонда Стерлинга Майлз Хансен.
Как ни странно, его принял шейх Аллахшукюр Пашазаде, который дал высокую оценку участию Фонда Стерлинга в разминировании освобожденных территорий.
В ответ Хансен выразил благодарность за теплый прием и пригласил шейха посетить штат Юта, чья религиозная община «имеет духовные связи с Азербайджаном». Об этом говорится в сообщении на сайте Управления мусульман Кавказа.
Сложно понять какое отношение имеет шейх к разминированию территорий, и с какой стати представитель американского фонда обсуждает эти вопросы с Пашазаде.
Скорее время, Хансену было отказано на официальном уровне в ответ на отказ Вашингтона принимать у себя предстаивтелей официального Баку.
Остается надеяться, что шейх справится с этой дипломатической миссией и сможет наладить контакты между Баку и Вашингтоном. -0-

Высокочтимый шейх скоро уже как 40 лет справляется со всеми возложенными на него обязанностями.
