U.S state passes resolution regarding Azerbaijan Democratic Republic's 95th anniversary

The U.S. State of Texas House of Representatives has adopted a resolution on the 95th anniversary of establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.

The resolution says the Republic of Azerbaijan celebrates the 95th anniversary of Republic Day on May 28th. “Later this year, Azerbaijan will also celebrate the 22nd anniversary of its freedom from the Soviet Union and the beginning of diplomatic relations with the United States.”

“Located at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, Azerbaijan was established in 1918 becoming the first democratic and secular republic in the Muslim world before being incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1920. The country regained its independence in 1991.”

“The U.S. and Azerbaijan have developed a strong relationship through the opening of Caspian energy sources for development by American companies, which has also allowed the country to emerge as an essential player in global energy security. Azerbaijan has continually assisted the United States on matters of international security, supporting and participating in operations in both Kosovo and Iraq as well as being actively engaged in Afghanistan.”

“State of Texas House of Representatives is pleased to honor the Republic of Azerbaijan in celebration of the 95th anniversary of Republic Day, and to recognize the valuable bilateral relationship between the United States and Azerbaijan,” the document says.
