The Novoye Vremya writes that Azerbaijan is headed for a strong relationship with the United States. The newspaper believes that the trip of the President to Washington D.C. to attend the nuclear summit means warming relations between the two countries. Normalization of the relations between the countries is also proved by the presidential decree of pardon, in which 14 political prisoners were released.
