Aliyev Invited to US, Maybe On Karabakh Issue

April 6, 2006 - 14:52 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Azeri President Ilham Aliyev received an official invitation to visit Washington. It will be Mr. Aliyev's first official visit to the US since he was elected as President in 2003. The official visit is scheduled for the end of April. During the visit Aliyev will meet President Bush and other officials of the Administration. Upcoming visit's details will be discussed at the Mammadyarov-Rice meeting on April 7. Possibility of the visit is high due to the strategic relationships between Azerbaijan and the US, but there is no exact date, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's press service said. Some analysts think the visit is connected with an Iranian problem and settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Azeri political scientists think the US will try to involve Azerbaijan into anti-Iranian coalition, reports Day.az.
