I am sure that the relations between Azerbaijan and new US administration will develop in a positive direction, said chairman of the Democratic Reforms Party Asim Mollazade. He said the United States are aware of the important role of Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus and highly evaluate the strategic partnership between our countries.

"August events in Georgia proved that peace is volatile and, therefore, we hope the United States will pay more attention to the resolution of "frozen conflicts in the territory of former USSR.

He said the USA is aware that Azerbaijan and Turkey are models of secular states and their positive image is extremely important for the this country as these two countries are its important strategic partners.

"In this connection, it would be correct to touch upon the pre-electoral promises of Barack Obama to recognize "Armenian genocide" in case he is elected the US President. I would like to remind that such promises were given by most presidential candidates but Armenians have not yet reached its adoption. Therefore, I do hope that the pre-electoral promises will remain a promise this time and the new US administration will not take any decisions for politicization of historical events", concluded Mollazade.
