It is impossible to establish peace in the South Caucasus without Azerbaijan, former U.S. Congressman Robert Wexler said.
Wexler took the port of president of the Center for Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation on Jan. 11.

"Azerbaijan's point of view must be taken into account while normalizing Turkey-Armenia relations," Wexler added.

"The normalization of Turkey-Armenia relations must be stimulating process for the sides," Wexler said.

Wexler said Turkey and Azerbaijan have a positive political will to bring dynamism to the region.

"The U.S. continues to see Turkey and Azerbaijan as its main allies in the region," he added.

As a congressman, Wexler worked in the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives from the date of his election to Congress in 1997.

Since then, he has actively supported the close cooperation of the U.S. with several countries, including Azerbaijan.

Wexler also served as co-chairman and founder of the Turkish faction.
