"Stratfor" President: Relations between Azerbaijan and the U.S are not as good as they could be

"The U.S. is concerned about many other issues. It has no opportunity to deal with this issue thoroughly [the issue of Azerbaijan-U.S relations]. But the United States is grateful to Azerbaijan for assistance in Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S. will attach greater importance to the regional issues that are important for Azerbaijan in future," he told the media in Baku.

He said that the U.S. does not pay enough attention to the U.S-Azerbaijan relations, as it is engaged in such issues as the crisis between Turkey and Israel, Iran, Afghanistan. But the United States does not forget about its real partner.

Answering the question about the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Friedman said that the U.S. does not clearly understand the situation with the occupied Azerbaijani territories and Nagorno-Karabakh.

"Unfortunately, the U.S. also can not fully appreciate the importance of Azerbaijan", he said.
