Farid Shafiyev: U.S. interest in the South Caucasus is growing

U.S. interest in the South Caucasus region is currently on the rise, Farid Shafiyev, chairman of the Board of the Center for Analysis of International Relations (AIR Center), told journalists at the First Azerbaijan–U.S. Think Tanks Forum in Baku.

He recalled that the Joint Declaration signed in Washington on August 8 supports the normalization process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as the expansion of cooperation between Baku and Washington and the promotion of peace in the region.

“We should make use of the growing U.S. interest in the South Caucasus. Both Azerbaijan and the United States have the capacity to do so,” Shafiyev said.
