Baku – APA. Consul at Azerbaijani Consulate General in Los Angeles
Elman Abdullayev made a speech at the conference "Caspian geopolitics
and US Azerbaijanis during Obama administration" organized by the U.S.

Azeris Network (USAN) in Chicago. The Consulate General told APA that
Abdullayev said Azerbaijan-initiated regional projects had given a
great impetus to the region’s integration into Europe, but Armenia’s
aggressive policy impeded large-scale cooperation and integration in
the region. He expressed his confidence that Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. President Barack Obama would discuss
the efforts for the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

Director of the Centre for Strategic Studies under Azerbaijan’s
President Elkhan Nuriyev, Executive Director of the U.S. Azeris Network
Adil Bagirov, Skokie Mayor George Van Dusen, representative of Pakistan
Consulate General Asad Hayauddin and a number of scientists addressed
the conference.
