Baku-APA. On May 14, 2013, American Congresswoman Madeleine Z. Bordallo made a statement on the 95th Republic Day of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
According to the Embassy of Azerbaijan to the U.S., the statement reads: “Over the last two decades Azerbaijan has become an increasingly important partner to the US, with Russia as a neighbor on its' northern border and an extensive border with Iran in the south, Azerbaijan is located in a geopolitically dynamic region between Europe and Asia. It is a predominately Muslim secular democracy noted for religious tolerance that is also home to Christian and Jewish communities”.
