SENATOR SAM BROWNBACK: “US SHOULD SEEK NEGOTIATED NK SETTLEMENT”

Today, Azerbaijan
May 23 2006

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.
