South Caucasus Division Director: Azerbaijan is very important region country for U.S.

Azerbaijan is a very important country in the region for the United States, Director of the Division of the South Caucasus for the U.S National Security Council Bridget Brink said at the meeting with chairman of Democratic Reforms Party Asim Mollazade in Washington.

Azerbaijan-U.S relations, the situation in the South Caucasus region, local conflicts, including Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and Azerbaijan's role in ensuring energy security in the Caspian Sea were discussed, the party said. Mollazade stressed the need for more intensive development of relations between the two countries, as well as U.S. greater involvement in conflict settlement processes that impede peace and development in the region.

Mollazade discussed Karabakh conflict and regional security issues in the White House. Armenia impedes the process of establishing peace, thus excluding itself from the general development of the region and the important energy projects, " chairman of the party said.
