The US Embassy has distributed congratulations to the people of Azerbaijan on the 25th anniversary of independence. The text says as follows,
“The United States was among the first countries to recognize Azerbaijan’s independence and values the warm friendship we have built together since that time. Azerbaijan has made great progress in its first quarter century of independence, and we look forward to continuing to work together in support of measures to promote freedom of expression, political participation, and rule of law, increase economic prosperity, fight terrorism, and to ensure a peaceful and stable future for Azerbaijan’s citizens. The United States remains committed as well to facilitating a negotiated settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
On this special occasion marking a quarter century of independence, Americans extend their best wishes to all Azerbaijanis.”
Note that for the first time in many years, no congratulations have come from the US President to the people and the President of Azerbaijan. -02D-
