"I do not think that US President Barack Obama will call 1915 events in
Osman Turkey as the "Armenian genocide", considers Mubariz Ahmedoghlu,
head of the Center of Political Innovations and Technologies.
He said the shift of powers in the United States does not mean changes
in the external political course of the United States. "Certainly,
there will be some changes in the external policy of the United States,
but on the whole I think these changes will make about 5-10%, that is,
they will be insignificant.
The recognition of the so-called "Armenian Genocide" by the United
States is a fundamental issue, related to the interests of the United
States in the Middle East and the Caucasus. Therefore, I do not think
that the US president will call the 1915 events in the Osman Turkey as
"Armenian genocide", said Ahmedoghlu.
As for the further US-Azerbaijani relations, Ahmedoghlu announced that
both Hilari Clinton and Richard Lugar, who visited Azerbaijan several
times, Barack Obama visited our country and is well informed about its
importance in the region and is aware of its problems and capacities.
"Therefore, I do not think that they will give preference to Armenia",
concluded Ahmedoghlu.
