Everyone knows the warm relations between Republicans, especially President Donald Trump, and Azerbaijan.
It is precisely as a result of this that US-Azerbaijani relations have risen to the level of strategic partnership over the past 2 years.
A notable aspect of these developments is that US officials not only approach statements by Azerbaijani officials with sensitivity but in many cases endorse them.
For instance, yesterday US President Donald Trump shared a post on his social media account from the interview given by Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration, to Newsmax.
Miraz.TV reports that the post was shared with the headline “Hajiyev to Newsmax: Trump is a peacemaker, an agreement with Iran is possible.”

Recall that in his interview with the aforementioned publication, Hikmet Hajiyev discussed US President Donald Trump’s role in the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia, as well as the new phase of Washington-Baku relations.
He also touched upon diplomatic resolution possibilities regarding Iran, Azerbaijan-Israel relations, the Russia-Ukraine war, and official Baku’s potential role in these matters. Hajiyev also shared his views on Azerbaijan’s energy capabilities and the prospects of its strategic partnership with the US.
