The European Azerbaijan Society (TEAS) told APA that copies are distributed to all MPs and delegates attending the three main political party conferences.

The article emphasizes the close relationship between the UK and Azerbaijan, pointing out that British companies – led by BP – have been at the forefront of Azerbaijan’s economic miracle over the last 20 years. The article also maintains that ‘the future is bright’ for further development of the relationship.

As evidence of the ongoing and dynamic connection between the two countries, the Politics First article carries a map of the planned Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, which will carry Azerbaijani gas directly in to Western Europe. It also features a picture of President Ilham Aliyev with Prime Minister David Cameron. President Aliyev had been largely responsible for securing the original Contract of the Century with a BP-led consortium, and future collaboration and contracts were on the agenda during the talks.

TEAS Director Lionel Zetter said: “Politics First is sent to every MP and is purchased by a wide range of politicians and stakeholders. This feature spells out in words, figures and pictures how far Azerbaijan has come in 20 years. It also underlines the closeness of the relationship between two nations with great histories and bright futures.”
