The Bush administration's new strategy on the Caspian region is known, said US Senator Sam Brownback, who authored the draft law on supporting the South Caucasus and Central Asian states in the US Senate.
Brownback said pipelines of critical importance for the transit of oil and gas pass through these countries. "The United States should also beat Iran to its nuclear ambitions as well as station new military bases in the region." The bill also cited the US aspiration to forge closer relations with Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, AssA-Irada informs. As for the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno Karabakh, the Senator said the USA should work to achieve a solution through peace talks. It should also counter what he called Russia’s geo-political ambitions in the region. /AzerNEWS.net/
