Baku â€“ APA. Consul at Azerbaijani Consulate General in Los Angeles Elman Abdullayev made a speech at the conference â€œCaspian geopolitics and US Azerbaijanis during Obama administrationâ€ organized by the U.S. Azeris Network (USAN) in Chicago. The Consulate General told APA that Abdullayev said Azerbaijan-initiated regional projects had given a great impetus to the regionâ€™s integration into Europe, but Armeniaâ€™s aggressive policy impeded large-scale cooperation and integration in the region. He expressed his confidence that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. President Barack Obama would discuss the efforts for the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

Director of the Centre for Strategic Studies under Azerbaijan’s President Elkhan Nuriyev, Executive Director of the U.S. Azeris Network Adil Bagirov, Skokie Mayor George Van Dusen, representative of Pakistan Consulate General Asad Hayauddin and a number of scientists addressed the conference.
