Azerbaijan's ambassador to the U.S., Khazar Ibrahim, described to Newsmax on Saturday his country's long-standing partnership with the United States.
Speaking with "Saturday Report," Ibrahim, whose country serves as a bridge between Russia and Iran, said Azerbaijan views the U.S. as both a strategic ally and one to which it holds moral obligations.
"Our relations are very strategic, deep, and very solid," Ibrahim said. "We started in early 90s, and we highly appreciate all the help United States provided to Azerbaijan's independence and sovereignty in early 90s. We also started very deep energy cooperation [with] major American companies."
Ibrahim went on to thank the U.S. for its "instrumental" work in the "Contract of the Century," an energy agreement that allowed Azerbaijan to sell oil to Europe, while noting his country's full support of the U.S. for its war on terror in the Middle East.
