Washington hosted the first event of the Azerbaijan America Alliance, a new non-profit organization dedicated to forging closer ties between the peoples of America and Azerbaijan on December 7, the newspaper The Sacramento Bee reported.
Members of Congress, State Department officials, American business
leaders, and leaders of Azeri-American organizations came together last
night for the inaugural event.
Senator John McCain was the main reporter.
We need to build our alliance, we need friends in the region, and our relationship between the U.S. and Azerbaijan has nowhere but up," he said.
Elin Suleymanov, Azerbaijan's new U.S. Ambassador to the United States, welcomed the Azerbaijan America Alliance and reiterated the enduring ties between the U.S. and Azerbaijan. He noted how quickly Azerbaijan had offered its help to the U.S. hours after the attacks on September 11, 2001 and hoped that the friendship would deepen between the two nations.
Justin Friedman, the head of the U.S. State Department's Caucasus Division, said that the "bonds of friendship between the U.S. and Azerbaijan are deep and enduring" and that the two nations "have shared interests in building regional security and shared energy security."
Senator Richard Burr, Michael Grimm, Randy Hultgren, Dana Rohrabacher, Corrine Brown, and Joe Wilson attended the event.
The Azerbaijan America Alliance is a non-partisan, non-profit organization. Its mission is to foster an atmosphere of mutual understanding and respect between the people of Azerbaijan and America.
