Azerbaijan Hopes For ‘Continuity’ In U.S. Foreign Policy
By Liz Fuller

In a statement released on 4 November and summarized by Turan, the
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry expressed the hope that Washington’s
policy towards Azerbaijan will continue unchanged in the wake of
President George W. Bush’s reelection.

The statement noted that the two countries cooperate in the fight
against International terrorism (Azerbaijan sent a contingent of 150
peacekeepers to Iraq in August 2003).

It further expressed the hope that after the presidential elections,
the United States will step up its efforts to resolve problems and
promote peace and stability in the South Caucasus, first of all, in
trying to bring about a peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
