US Government “examine the possible operations on drawing feasibility
study for Trans-Caspian pipeline” and are going to promote
Azeri-Kazakh intergovernmental agreement on transportation of Kazakh
oil though Azerbaijan, reportedly said Anne Derse, nominated by
President George W Bush to the post of US Ambassador to Azerbaijan.
Diplomat said development of Caspian resources and their supply to
the world’s markets is one of the priority-driven issues of US
Government in the region.
Speaking of prospects of relieving matters around Nagorno-Karabakh,
Ms Derse said Washington hoped for mutual agreement between
Presidents Aliyev and Kocharyan in the shortest time. “We are
currently observing a significant stage of conversations, – US
official said. – This year, a window opens for achieving some
agreement through conversations… It would be a tragedy to return to
violence”.
Ms Derse said, quoting, “US relations with Azerbaijan have a
promising future but will only reach their full potential if
Azerbaijan strengthens its commitment to democracy and the rule of
law”. “Azerbaijan is an important partner to the US in a
strategically significant region that grows even more important in a
view of our political and economic interests”, – Ms Derse, said,
