It is impossible to implement any project in the region without Azerbaijanâ€™s participation. In this context I consider that the negotiations and discussions held during the meeting strengthen Azerbaijanâ€™s positionâ€, Deputy Executive Secretary of the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP), MP Mubariz Gurbanli told YAPâ€™s website, APA reports.

Gurbanli said that Hillary Clintonâ€™s visit to the South Caucasian countries is due to the issues related to the US policy pursued in this region. Reminding about the Clintonâ€™s visit to Armenia and Georgia, Gurbanli said that the US relations with these countries were discussed at the meetings: â€œThe US Secretary of State will pay the next visit to Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan-US relations cover several spheres. The energy security, regional cooperation, joint activity in accordance with the interests of the US and Azerbaijan, at the same time the economic interests of the United States in this region and the other issues are among them. The US and Azerbaijan have very serious energy cooperation. Azerbaijan is very important country in the Caspian basin. Certainly, all these led US to give special place to Azerbaijan within its South Caucasus policy. It is important to note that the most serious topic of discussions during the Clintonâ€™s visit to the South Caucasus is Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno Karabakh conflict. When she was in Yerevan she held discussions about this issue. These discussions will be in the special spotlight in Baku. The US Secretary of State will be informed about the President Ilham Aliyevâ€™s position concerning the settlement of the conflict. The US is the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair and leading country in the worldâ€.
